I would normally skirt around issues like that by using a battery-backup.
As soon as I power down, I next switch off the battery-backup and that cuts
all power to the system. It then can't turn back on even through a remote
boot via the LAN interface. From what you have said, it does appear you
have checked out most of the obvious causes. Have you looked into the BIOS?
I don't know the BIOS of this board so I can't say what you can or can't do
there. I know some systems can be set to "auto-reboot" as a feature.
SP2 has given my 2yo Soyo system a different "feel". The HDD I/O seems much
slower...well, slower while looking for or scanning for files. SP2 did
trash all my "thumbnail" images I had placed on "thumbnail view" folders
using the customize feature...all 5,717 of them! Little by little, day by
day, I'm putting them back.
