Shutdown automatically reboots machine.

[rascal902]

When i try to shutdown, via screen/mouse 'shutdown" or on/off button -shutdown circle appears, monitor turns off, and PC turns off for about 5 seconds; then the PC automatically reboots.  I have done the following.  run safe scan for errors and repairs, turned off the "restart after failure", turned off the 'fast start' option.  Not sure what else to try.  Thanks!
