If I push and hold the power button it just cuts the power after a few 
seconds, and doesn't shutdown gracefully.

This is what I end up having to do as I don't use a keyboard, mouse or 
monitor on the machine, so I press the button once wait for it to 
shutdown then when it comes back on I press and hold the power button so 
it cuts the power whilst its still doing the bios stuff.

Thanks
