yea this has happened to me before i think it has to do with your power supply, is this an older PC?  Pretty sure its the power supply shorting out a Lil and making it think its restarting

are you powering up with your battery alone, or are you plugged into an outlet?\n\nhow old is your computer? is it worth spending money to fix it by going to a computer repair shop?  are your files very valuable?

You can't shut a computer down via the Power Options control panel, unlike what the previous person said.\n\nYou can do it via a scheduled task. \n\nStart --> Control Panel --> Scheduled Tasks\n\nDouble-Click Add Scheduled Task\n\nClick Next\n\nClick Browse\n\nBrowse to C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92;shutdown.exe, and select it\n\nGive the task a name and select its frequency (make sure you don't set it for startup or log on!) and click Next\n\nSet the time to do the task and click Next\n\nMake sure the computer&#92;user name of a admin is in the user name box and the correct password (if there is a password) has been provided, then click Next\n\nClick Finish\n\nThat will automate your shutdown.

the correct meaning is to restart your pc:\nclick the 'start' button\nclick 'turn off computer'\nclick 'restart'\n\nbut (ALOT of) people who don't know any better incorrectly use it to refer to using a system restore cd to return your computer's operating system to how it was when it was bought.

Why, some programs fail to save information on shutdown, anyway try this , go to start > run > type MSCONFIG \npress enter a program will start\n\nchoose Selective Startup\n\nchoose the startup TAB\n\nyou will see the yahoo desktop executable, Uncheck it\nyou can tell from its name, or its folder name if the EXE isnt clear enough it will be something with Yahoo in it(in the folder)\n\nClick OK\n\nIt will ask for restart , restart the machine, when it will first start it will show you a pop up screen, with a check not to show again, check that \n\ngood luck

Nothing will get lost if you shut down or Reboot your computer, (It's kind of the same thing). You will loose your data, if you Format your Hard Drive, unless if you are working on some kind of office document (Word, Excel, etc.) and you don't save it before shutting down your computer.\nHope it helps.

Assuming Windows XP....\nStart button / Run / type in "msconfig" (without the quotes)\nGo to the Startup tab of the window that opens\nUncheck anything that you do not want to start when the computer is turned on. (If you change your mind, you can come back and recheck them)

For Windows XP\n\nIf the computer is running it is best to shut down Windows and then turn off the power.\n\nBegin by first clicking on the Start Button and then click on Turn Off Computer.\n\nNow click on the Turn Off red colored icon to shut down your computer system.\n\nIt is best to wait between 15 to 30 seconds before you turn your system back on.\n\nTurn on your computer and start tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.\n\nSome Computers may display a keyboard error message if you begin tapping F8 too quickly.\n\nRestart your computer again and begin tapping the F8 key a brief second or two later.\n\nWhen the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears, Choose the Safe Mode option and hit Enter.\n\nWindows will now boot your computer up in Safe Mode.
