Hi, can anybody help me out here I can't shut my powerbook down. When I shut down it restarts straight away, if I try to put it in sleep mode it wakes after around 10 seconds. I don't know what to do, the only way to turn it off is by removing the battery in between it restarting but I don't like doing this.

What's the last thing you did before this behavior started? Without knowing that it's pretty hard to diagnose a solution.
Sleep mode is not off. Many applications "phone home" and may be waking the computer. Energy saver has a "scheduled wake setting" I have seen that startup computers automagically.
Computers with Remote Access enabled can also be woken seemingly without human intervention... There could be other apps that start/wake your box.
A clean install would not be out of line to try and solve this.
Good Luck,
N.
