Default Auto Re-Boot

I bought a new computer running Windows XP Pro. However every time I shut
down the machine re-boots after 3 seconds. Is this a windows setting or a
hardware problem?
Thanks,

Default Auto Re-Boot

You possibly are encountering a system error during shutdown down. By
default, XP is configured to restart when an error happens. You can turn
this off by:

Right click on My Computer
Select Properties
Click on Advanced
In Startup and Recovery, select Settings.
In System Failure section, uncheck "Automatically restart"
