Why would the computer not restart with the power button for 15 minutes after properly shutting down but restart with no problem using the restart option?

XP's power management allows you to define what the computer does when the power button is pressed. It may be on your system that it is set to hibernate instead of power off. Also, depending on the shutdown procedure being used, a program may not be relinquishing control to the operating system. Choosing Start -> Restart is a "cleaner" reboot sequence and so the program is not forced to abruptly terminate, instead it is allowed to properly shut itself down which avoids any hang-ups like the one portrayed in the question.

On my computer one of the discs needs to be checked for consistency keeps coming on when I turn on my computer what's up?
Two things here: 1) when it comes up do you let it get checked? If not then LET IT CHECK IT OUT FOR YOU!!! 2) If you DO let it check it out and it keeps coming up either you are shutting your computer down with the power switch without letting Windows shut it down properly OR you probably have a problem with your hard drive.

Why does your screen go off so often?
If it is just the monitor that is shutting off, then there might be a problem with the monitor with staying on. If by 'screen', you mean the actual computer goes off and produces a black screen, then your computer might be set to go into hibernation quickly, or it might have a mode where it goes into a blank screen saver quickly. Check the computer's settings to fix that problem.
