All I can think of it take all the cable off the mb ie leds, usb,reset and just leave the power switch remove any cards installed and spare cables like floppy even remove cd\dvd drives, see if that does any good, if the hd led doesnt work its normally the wires the wrong way around. I have know some MB marked wrong so the connection are all the wrong way around.

You can start the PC by shorting the "ATX Power Switch" pins with a screwdriver.

PSU? Not sure, never heard of a faulty PSU causing a machine to reboot on power off. They normally stop the machine from booting if there's a fault there.
Have you checked the motherboard manufacturers site for a BIOS update that may address the issue?
Otherwise an email to the manufacturers may bare fruit as to whether it's an RMA job.
Sorry it sounds like clutching at straws, but ideas are getting a bit thin.

So I used to do the shut-down thing and when it restarted and entered the POST, I ripped the mains lead out of the back.
So it definitely powered off
I always made sure the disks wern't spinning when I did it - but it's a cost free solution.
