Hi for england...

Click Start, then Run, type regedit and click "Ok". Registry Editor will open.

In the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then Software, then Microsoft, then Windows NT, then CurrentVersion, and click on Winlogon.

In the right pane, locate PowerDownAfterShutdown...(it may appear as PowerDownAfte...) What is the value listed for this string under the Data column?

Ok...let's look at something else befor we change that.

Right click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties". Click on the "Advanced" tab and then, in the Startup and Recovery section, click on the "Settings" button. In the "System Failure" section, is "Automatically Restart" selected?

No

I don't mean to intrude, but if you turn off the computer by flipping the switch on the power supply in back, and then flip that switch back to on, does the computer automatically start?

If so, it's not a Windows error, it's either power supply, case (power switch wiring) or motherboard related.

Yeah it does come on automatically
