The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA8I945P-G with a Pentium D 820 (dual core) CPU. This is not a laptop.

I suspect this might be related: "shutdown -h now" doesn't power off the system.
  
If required, I am happy to rebuild the kernel or collect debug output or otherwise assist in debugging this problem.
