I think the problem is in your BIOS settings. When you're computer is starting, look for what to press, usually delete when the bootscreen comes up. Then, in advanced options, there should be something called restart after power failure or something like that, and set that to false. Try to find the manual for your BIOS. Look for the version at the bootscreen, and google it, look for guides of some sorts. Good luck, hope this answers your question!

You can usually press your power button just once, and it will shut the system down, and you won't lose any data or anything. (Unless, you hold the button to force shutdown)

What frozenrat means, is try turning your Pc off from your power button instead of going start > shutdown > ect. See if that works instead.

If it still happens, do what mygearis suggested and check your BIOS settings. There is a chance that it is getting a critical error while shutting down, and your BIOS has a setting which reboots the PC in the event that this happens. Hence, it keeps rebooting.
