Hi and welcome to SF.

One thing we are gonna need is specifics of your machine, OS (32 or 64), clean install or upgrade, etc. then we might be able to help more quickly

Ken

just a guess, but try going into the Control Panel and Power Options. There you can configure how the shutdown button works.

yes sorry i forgoth about specification ...

-windows 7 32bit (build 7100) clean install
-elitegroup nforce6m-a motherboard
-AMD 4000+
-2gb ddr2
-ati radeon (PCI-E) x1950gt 256mb
-250gb sata hd

thanks for the specs. when you hit the shutdown button thru the start button what happens? Does the disk light flash consistantly for a minute or so then stop?

Ken

start menu and then shutdown. Just a normal procedure, hd lamp blinking randomly then shuting down screen then black screen... restart... starting windows again ... nothing unusual in shutdown process i guess...

Im sorry I thought that was the problem you asked abt. what is you problem?

Ken

right click on the Taskbar, go to Properties -> Start Menu tab

Change "Power button action" to suit your needs.

This can be caused by an error during shut down, try this:

Goto the Start Orb, type sysdm.cpl, and press Enter. Click the Advanced tab, and then click the Settings button under 'Startup and Recovery' (as opposed to the other two Settings buttons on that tab). Uncheck Automatically restart.

Nop unchecking Automatic restart don't help here. I can not turn my computer properly,it is always working, in xp shut down is ok but in windows 7 shut down restart my computer... Only with unpluging the cable from the power supply or from the wall i can stop my computer... that is my problem...
P.S.
sorry for my english and for not being to clear about this.
