It's ACPI BIOS. Many new BIOS have a setting which make the power switch behave as standby/power switch. This changes the power off behaviour. Try pushing the power switch and holding for 4-5 seconds before releasing. It should stay off. Also, look through your BIOS setup menu's to find the power switch setting.
