Mac Pro restarts instead of shutting down

I came across this thread on Apple's Support Forum...

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10465608

The 4th to last post has the explanation of what to do. I have done this and so far so good, however it's only been about 2 days since I've done it (which equals 2 shut downs). My Mac Pro doesn't restart after selecting shut down EVERY time, but it does often, so I can't be sure it's fixed yet.

It's quick and easy and worth a shot. I'll post again if it starts acting up again after doing this fix.
 
This is my log during that period:

Just following up from my post on October 5th.

Since I did what was outlined in the apple support forums, I have NOT had this issue any longer. When I choose to Shut Down, it Shut's down.

It's definitely worth trying if you guys are still having issues.
 
Gosh, I know this forum is 5 years old, but I wonder if anyone has resolved this problem themselves, or if they're an original respondent on this thread. The apple forum link doesn't work anymore unfortunately so I have no idea what was suggested.

I have a Mac Pro 2010 running mavericks. I have an PC Nvidia GPU, so the Mac boots without a bootscreen. It had functioned fine previously but after a fresh install, it restarts when I select shutdown.

Unfortunately, I never got this resolved. I'm still using my now 6 years old Mac Pro and it will still occasionally restart instead of shutdown. It seems to happen very randomly and sporadically. It was suggested that perhaps a stick of RAM might be bad which can cause strange behavior like this. I never bothered to replace the RAM and because the machine is now over 6 years old and this only happens occasionally, I don't even worry about it anymore.
 
Just solved my problem, or at least identified it. I had a 2010 Mac Pro that I added a couple of things to - new Nvidia GPU and a USB 3 Card.

It's just my backup machine so I wasn't too worried about it. I know it's happened in the past but I couldn't remember what it was that fixed it.

Anyway... As has been suggested, it was the USB 3 card that was the culprit. I had 2 cables plugged into it. One had nothing attached, the other had an external drive that wasn't powered on. I tried disconnecting the drive, but that didn't work. This time I unplugged the cable that isn't attached to anything and it shutdown.

I know the issue disappeared at some point last time. I think I may have unplugged the USB 3 card and later plugged it back in and the issue didn't return. May need to find a new driver or something.

I disregarded the USB 3 problem as nothing was actually plugged into the card but cables, but there you go... Sort of solved. At least I know what to target now.
