I've been facing a frustrating issue where my PC won't stay shut down. After I click the "Shut Down" option, it powers off initially but then turns back on after a few moments. I'm curious if this could be related to the fact that my computer's AC cable is connected to a power strip that is always on. Is there a chance that this power strip setup is causing my PC to restart after I try to shut it down?

It's unlikely that the power strip is the cause of your PC turning back on. More often, this kind of issue is due to a peripheral like a mouse or keyboard waking it up, or there might be a software setting preventing it from shutting down properly.
If all else fails, just to be safe, you could always shut the PC down and unplug it from the power strip as a temporary fix.
One tip is to check your BIOS settings. If you enable ErP power savings, it can help disable any features that might keep your PC from shutting down properly.
I don't think the power strip has anything to do with it. You might want to check if your power switch itself is faulty and causing it to short, which can lead to the PC restarting unexpectedly.
