Solution
pull the wires off at the motherboard to the power button. Momentarily short the pins to boot your machine to the desktop, then click shutdown. See if the computer shuts down and stays off. If it does, the problem is in the wiring to the power button or the button itself.

If it turns on again, then check in bios for wake on settings. See what is enabled. Post results of test and check in bios. I can give other ideas once you have checked those.
