    If you have loaded a new OS and this is still happening, then it sounds like a hardware issue. What happens if you boot into the BIOS and then shut down via the power switch?

    If it restarts then, you have a hardware issue. Most likely the power switch itself, but could be other circuitry as well.

    Sounds like a hardware problem then. When you are in the BIOS and hit the power button, there is no software to interfere with shutting down.

    You said you were in the BIOS and chose the shut down option. What happens if you are in the BIOS and just press the power button?

    You have a hardware issue. The battery in or out does not matter. Something is wrong with the hardware. Either the switch has failed or the circuit the switch is connected to has failed.
