self-starting Mac

Can anyone please offer a solution to my Mac starting up on its own. I have
a 266 G3 iMac that automatically restarts a few seconds after I shut it
down. It doesn't matter how I shut down, ie. which button I use or whether I
use the mouse.

This is a real puzzler, for me at least. I haven't been able to find
reference to such a problem in any of my Mac manuals.

TIA

Check the power button on the front of the iMac to be sure it¹s not
sticking. This was a problem with some of them, although I think it was
with later models. The solution was to take the case apart and file
down the edges of the button.
