There was a problem like that with some of the intel mouther boards at on
time. I think the problem dates all the way back to ML 9.0 I have seen it on
several machines. In fact when I have seen the problem after you see the
power down message you actually have to press and hold down the power button
to get the machine to shut down. I have no idea if it has been fixed in 10.0
