    Whenever I try to shut down my computer it just restarts, it never shuts down. What might be causing this? I don't have a clue hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

    I got it fixed, i forgot that i edited the amount of time it takes to shut down windows. When i did that i set it too low and it wasn't allowing enough time to shut down so i added a few seconds and now it works fine.
