Power off is one of those BIOS + ACPI things.
Do check for a BIOS update. Toggle between APM
and ACPI if the BIOS permits.
Not a great link but a start:

Better..
http://www.acpica.org/documentation/faq.php
See the 'interpreter' bits and if available update

do look into it.

DEPENDENCIES
Please make sure you are using the latest ACPI code possible. This is
available from
