   OK so oddly enough, I figured out what the problem is. Apparently my   
   monitor does not play nice and causes the power down to fail. If I   
   manually switch off my monitor *before* my PC reaches the stage where it   
   tries to switch off then it works! I had a fluke change in behavior   
   pattern the other night that resulted in this. (I normally switch off the   
   screen last) now if I switch it of quickly enough everything works fine   
   and the machine powers down.   
      
   Something in the monitor (probably the card reader or USB hub or similar)   
   is causing the ACPI shutdown to abort for some reason.   
      
   how very strange!
