I just installed a new Plextor DVD Burner, PX-708A internal IDE in my Dell 8250. I changed my Cdrom jumper to slave and made my DVD Burner the Master. Both have DMA on. Now I noticed that when I "shut Down" the pc it reboots itself, I login again then shutdown. Can anyone give me ideas and/or suggestions as to why this is happening? thanks in advance.
 
I suspect you are running XP or 2000. If so, look in Event Viewer, System log for any error entries timestamped at about the time of attempted shutdowns. Post the Source, and ErrorId here as they may help to troubleshoot this further.
