The only way I can get it to turn off is to hard power off(Hold down button) twice.
I have checked all BIOS setting and turned off restart on BSOD I just can't seem to get it to stop restarting. When I Shut down it does actually turn off but then right back on which is what makes me think its a BIOS setting or something.

Full Specs in sig.

Thank you for any help,

If this is a new build the first thing I would recheck is to make sure the front I/O panel header is connected properly. If that doesn't work, try flashing your bios to a newer version. Finally, are you sure your not pressing the "sleep" button,on the start menu, instead of shut down?

Click to expand...

Yea, I'd check all of those first.
Then I'd also reset your BIOS back to defaults as well. (Flashing may or may not do that).
 
Copying and pasting from this microsoft help page to get you to where you can see the event logs that may tell you what's going on:

1. Open Event Viewer by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking "System and Maintenance", clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Event Viewer.
2. Expand Windows Logs, and then click System.
3. In the Actions pane, click Filter Current Log.
4. In the Filter Current Log dialog box, in the Logged list, select the time range.
5. In the Event sources list, select Power-Troubleshooter, and then click OK.
6. In Event Viewer, in the System pane, select the date and time for the event that you want to view.

I'm not sure what you'll see at this point but it should hopefully give you some idea of what's really happening.
 
Ok, the event viewer did not show anyhting. Loading defaults did nothing. I hate upgrading bios but i guess thats next. The thing is is that it does turn off but then it turns right back on even after doing a hard off.
 
What if you unplug it from the wall and plug it in without hitting any of the front panel buttons? Does it turn on then?
