That's EXACTLY what happens on my machine - I wrote about it earlier (Ghost in the Machine post)
The drives power down but the MB stays up - When I depress the power switch and hold it in for several seconds - the machine finally shuts off. But the strangest thing is, after several mintues of being powered OFF - the machine springs back to life (by ITSELF!) - I didn't tough ANYTHING! Gateway PII/400 (Intel PBOX BIOS) Very odd.
