I have a Windows ME system to which I added a 3 x USB 2 and 2 x Firewire PCI card plus a USB card reader yesterday. Since doing that the system will not stay powered off after a shutdown. The machine shuts down fine and powers off. About a second later it powers back on again!

I have checked the bios setting and they appear to be the same as before and I've checked the power management settings and they are still configured for a shutdown.

Before I take out the USB/firewire card and restor the system to previous settings, does nay one have any idea's/suggestions I can try?
