Default Peculiar start-up problem

This just started recently...sounds more like a hardware problem, but though
I'd ask the question anyway. Have a 4 year old compaq pc running windows xp
home. Go through the normal shut down procedure startturn off computerturn
off. Machine goes through shut down as it should and then completely shuts
off. If I wait 10-15 seconds, it turns back on. The only way for me to shut
down is to unplug from the power strip. As I said, I am assuming it is
either the start switch or the power supply...but if anyone has other ideas...
Thanks

Check your BIOS for any "Wake On..." settings that may be enabled.
