Laptop restarts after shut down

15368 Views 7 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  [email protected]
I've got a sony vaio, and it always worked fine until recently when I shut it down it restarts itself. This has been irritating me for quite a while as I have searched the Internet and still cannot find any solutions! Can anyone help?

No, it shuts down and all the lights go off as normal then after about 10 seconds it just turns itself back on.

I follow your instructions but I get taken to taskbar and menu properties. Is there anything else I could try?
go to your Control Panel then Select Power Management (XP) or Power Options (Vista/7). Then depending on your OS there will either be a Tab at the top or a menu item to the left; to allow you to change what the computer does when the power button is pressed
Did you install or uninstall any new software recently??
right click My Computer/properties/advanced/startup and recovery clear the "automatically >restart on system failure" box
