This is the weirdest thing ive ever seen.

I will tell it to shut down, but about 5-10 seconds after it powers down, it loads back up.

Im forced to flick the switch on the psu until I want to use it again. It's annoying as hell.

My bios option for this is turned off, as well as the one in the system properties, I have no idea what to try.
 
Try going into the bios under the 'power' options and disabling 'Wake on LAN' and 'Wake on Ring'.
 
I had a similar, although opposite problem with a system, once. You would go to start -> shut down, it would go through the shutdown paces, and when the machine was supposed to shut down, the drives would spin down and signal to the monitor would be cut, but the fans would still be spinning and the lights on all the cd drives would light up. I had to shut it down manually via the PSU switch...after a few weeks of this happening, the motherboard completely died and had to be replaced.
