Asus A3hf laptop starts up by itself

[Philosopherbat]

Hello,
No matter how I power down my laptop (Button or Soft) it always restarts from beinging switched off within the next 3-5 mins.

I have flashed to latest BIOS, changed the RAM, changed the HD and reconfigurewd all the Power Mgt options...

It happens on XP & 7 that I have checked....

No other programs installed so is not Anti virus!

Any Ideas?

Most likely it is either a bad power button, or a bad motherboard. Not likely a windows or settings issue unless it comes back on at a specific time, or after a specific amount of time.
If under warranty then it is time for an RMA
