Is the APM enabled in the BIOS settings? there is usually something called a
soft power shutdown where you hold the power button for about 4 seconds
before the machine's power supply powers down. but then I'm using an AMI
BIOS which has the ability to enable/disable the APM ....

Just a thought...

See yah later
