I need some intellectual help here.

My computer will not shut down I tried unchecking the 'Automatically
restart' check box, with no results. As soon as I shut it down it just
restarts the same as if I selected restart form the start menu.

Any ideas?

Thanx Bruce

See if anything here helps and good luck:

Disable everything that reads 'Wake up' in the BIOS settings. Also, I have
seen this behavior if you have a CD/DVD in the drive during a shutdown.

Shutdown Event Tracker - Line 373:

Power the Computer Off or Reboot After Shutdown

This edit controls whether Windows should automatically power down or reboot
your computer once it has finished the shutdown process.

This edit automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from
shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.
