I am experiencing the same problem after a power outage. I have tried
system restore and upgrade installation and installing SP2. None of these
things have corrected the problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Power outages have their own issues at times. In the meantime, see if any
of this helps:
Disable everything that reads 'Wake up' in the BIOS settings. Also, I have
seen this behavior if you have a CD/DVD in the drive during a shutdown.
