Still'n'all, pooters are strange things with minds of their own sometimes. Try looking at the BIOS settings <DEL> as it boots on mine: yours may be different, but there will be a hint at the btm of the screen at boot time.
What you are looking for is (probably in the 'Advanced Config' page) ACPI Enabled. If it ain't then there's your problem: re-enable it. If it's already enabled, then I'm stumped.
Good luck.
