W700 will not stay turned off

I used to be able to work around this by just holding down the power button and it would stay turned off. Now, since the Win7 reinstall, it won't stay off no matter what, it just reboots itself. Any ideas what this bug is?

Just maybe this will fix.

Go into Power Management settings (network adapters) in Device Manager. Right click and select properties. Uncheck the "allow this device to wake the computer" box (on each item) individually, to see which one might be the culprit.

Hope this helps.
