Vista restarts instead of shutting down

When I shut down my machine, Vista goes through the shut down process just fine,
the machine switches off, lights go out, fan stops, and then after about 2-3 seconds
of silence it starts up again all by itself.
The only way to switch it off, is to wait until the machine shuts down, and then
quickly switch off the power at the power supply switch!
If I switch the power supply back on again then the machine will stay switched off,
so this must be some shut down issue?
I have been through the bios settings to disable all wake ups.
I have set power management to shut down not hibernate.
This started happening after a windows vista automatic update.
So I guess two questions,
1. Any ideas how to stop this?
2. If I upgrade to Windows 7 is this likely to solve it?
Cheers
