Cable Forum - View Single Post - XP Home does a reboot 5 seconds after shutdown

If I use Start -> Turn off computer -> Shutdown computer on my laptop, it shuts down and then reboots a few seconds later and I have to press the power key momentarily at bootup to stop this. Micro$oft website recognises this as a problem if you have Easy CD installed, but I don't have it on this laptop.

Any ideas? It's been doing this for > 1 year, so a system restore would be poor choice, I think
