Just as if it were one of those American horror movies, every time I try to turn off my computer does turn off, but then it just turns on again by itself.
This happens both in KDE and Gnome, when trying to turn it off from the leave screen, when logging out first, and then trying to power it off, when using terminal with both the “poweroff” and also “shutdown now” commands. I have no clue as for why, but this started a few days ago with the last kernel update.
Does it actually power off, as in, lights all off, fans stop too? If
so, I’ll bet this isn’t the OS. If it doesn’t power off all of the way,
though, perhaps it is.
Good luck.

I to have a similar problem… my MB is an Asus (M4A87TD-USB3) with a AMD Phenom™ II X4 B50 Processor as identified by sysinfo… (dual boot with Window 7 Pro)
When I do a shutdown from the desktop or from a console, my system seem to go down into a kind of hibernation or sleep mode… (Note: the keyboard and DVD drive lights stays on)… I also noticed that if my andriod id connected to a USB port it stays charging. In that state I still have to press the power-on button to startup the computer.
I haven’t found a way to shutdown the system using the preconfigured options… What I do is a restart and wait until the Asus Express Gate comes up and use the ‘Power Off’ in the application. No problem shutting down from Windows 7.

You could report this in Bugzilla so that the devs are made aware of the
problem.

I am having the same problem. If I put it to sleep it is fine. When I power down. It will turn on again somewhere between 30 seconds to the middle of the night.

The bios will have a feature to wake up on the clock. It is on, or faulty.

I had a system like that - it was set to power up after a power fail (my
“lazy start” option!!) and the cmos battery was low (sufficient to
slow/stop the clock after a while but retain the settings) and would
power up if not completely switched off (ie at the wall). A new battery
was sufficient.

A customer brought me an Alienware 9750 that would do that every time. It turned out being a bad motherboard. Pricy sucker to, $600 for a new motherboard. The ironic part is the notebook was to big, 17", and now he wants me to sell it for him.
I don’t seem to have any issues with the other systems I have installed, Linux Mint etc. I checked the bios and battery, seems OK, but not sure what to look for. battery voltage OK.
