I have an Asus P6T deluxe v2 with a Core i7 920 and 12GB of DDR3 ram. I am running windows 7 RC1 x64 and whenever I go to shut down my PC, put it to sleep or hibernate it will stay in the proper mode (sleep, hibernate, shutdown etc.) for about 20 seconds and then it will turn right back on. I have to flip the switch on the PSU to keep it turned off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
sounds like you have wake on lan or wake on keyboard/mouse turned on in the bios.. i would look at that first..

Or possibly in the Control Panel. If using Vista, go to Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Advanced Settings. Make sure Multimedia is set to "Allow computer to sleep."

Then, in device manager, right click on your keyboard, mouse, and other components. For some it will show a "Power Management" tab. Make sure the "Allow this device to wake the computer" box is unchecked.
 
either disable wake on lan or click wake on magic packet (only) option.

Thank you! The power management tabs fixed it. Wake on LAN can be controlled by Win7 i guess. I went to my network adapers and disabled it on the power management tabs and now it's fixed.
