HP Media Center desktop
WinXP MCE

For about a month now, every time I go to shut down my PC (i.e. Start > Turn
Off Computer > Turn Off option), it just restarts. It is the weirdest thing
and I can't figure out why that's happening. Can anyone suggest some areas
to check, or if that has ever happened to you and how you solved the
problem?

All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

For example:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Windows+XP%22+shutdown+restarts+instead

Hits from that simple Google search that may apply to your issue:
