Windows XP Reboots on Shutdown

The system was an Intel, based on the MSI 945GM4 motherboard.

When told to "Shut Down" from either explorer or the login window, it would immediately reboot. This would happen even when "restart on system failure" option was disabled.

I disabled all of the "wake on" settings, including PCI devices. Nonetheless, the problem persisted.

Removing the PCI modem solved the problem.

It was a Creative Modem Blaster Di3635-1/5655

Since the client doesn't use dial up any more, we left it out.
