I have a Biostar G41D3+ MoBo, Windows 7 Home Premium, every time I hit the shutdown button, the pc won't shutdown it restarts instead. Any one can help me to resolve this issue. It happened in 3 different PCs, all with the same HW & SW configuration.

if so and you don't see anything set incorrectly the lets run SFC
do this by typing sfc in the search box...
right click on sfc.exe in the results above...click on yes or continue to the UAC challenge
