    I have just installed Win7 64bit and nothing else. Not connected to the internet yet. The machine acts as it should when I press Shutdown however, once the fans stop spinning it restarts on its own.

    I went online from another computer and updated the all drivers... no fix though.

    I could not see an update for the BIOS from 9/29/2008. Is there one available?

    Is there a setting in the BIOS that should be changed to prevent this from happening? I couldn't find it although, I changed any settings that suggested restart on failure or error.


    Further, the Machine Type and Model as well as the Serial Number are shown as INVALID in the BIOS. I know that there is a utility to change this but don't know where I would find that.

    Thanks for any assistance

    Might have been a badly installed BIOS. It may have required the BIOS to be reset to Defaults.

    Your solution solves it though :). Thanks for letting us know.
