hibernate

I have a simple .bat script to shutdown a kiosk style machine in our work

shutdown -h -f

this hibernates the machine and I have it running each evening as a scheduled job. However my problem comes when I turn the machine on again. The first time I press power it starts up and then immediately hibernates again, like it runs the script a second time.

the second time I press power it stays up.

Any suggestions on how I can avoid this?
