Help! I can't Shut It Down!

[Grady]

This is my first build. What happens is that 40secs to 2 minutes after
shutdown it powers itself back up. It only stays powered down if, after I
shut down Windows, I also power down at the power supply switch on the back
of the case for at least 10-15 secs. Because of this I suspect a bios/cmos
setting (see CMOS below).

Here are specs/settings:
AMD 3200+ (stock timings)
MSI K8N neo4
CMOS/BIOS: Phoenix Award BIOS ver 1.1
CMOS Hardware monitor settings:
ACPI Standby State: S1(POS)
Power Button Function: Power Off
Restore on AC Power Loss: Off
Wakeup Event Setup: (all options disabled)
Winxphome sp2
ATI x800xl
Western Digital WD800JB 80mb

any ideas?

press the Settings button
