What programs are starting up on your computer? Is this an nLited XP installation or a normal XP installation? When did you install XP? Have you defragmented your computer? Have you tried bootvis? Have you run disk cleanup?

Well, then I'd do some checking around - one, check this registry value to see if it's set to one - if so, set it to zero and reboot. Two, make sure UPHClean is installed properly (you did state it is, but making sure you're running the latest version is key). Three, in your computer's BIOS, see if it has an option for power state after power failure (or something like that) - these are usually set to auto, but they can be set to always off or always on - try making sure this is always off. Four, make sure you have the latest BIOS version installed for your motherboard model, as power options in XP rely heavily on BIOS compatibility. And last, but not least, boot into safe mode and see if the issue occurs when shutting down in safe mode.

I know I had this same problem on my home pc a while back. It turned out to be a power issue, the APM/ACPI was messed up, and everytime I shut it down, it would take a long time, then it would just reboot instead of shutting down and powering off.

Another thing to check would be to make sure your drivers are loaded properly.

One more question, what kind of PC are you running XP SP2 on? ie) specifications on the system.

If it fails during safe mode, than it's not a driver or startup application causing the issue - it's windows itself. Have you run sfc /scannow to see if it recurs after that reboot, or done a repair install?
