OK, this might sound a little stupid, but could you explain the
steps for this reboot/shutdown steps. If I understand correctly
I should:
- (Re)boot the computer
- Enter the BIOS settings
- Set the Wake-On-Alarm date/time
- Save the changes
- Exit the BIOS settings
- Let the computer reboot to the login prompt
- Login as root
- Issue the poweroff command
If this is the correct steps, then I have tried that without success.
For the things Craig said about /etc/init.d/halt I will have another
look, but I believe I tried that as well.

The "PME Event Wake Up" is enabled. I also have "ACPI Suspend Type" set
to "S1 (POS)" but could be changed to "S3 (STR)".

The power supply is a Seasonic S12 430W and I only have the PVR-150
PCI card and the LCD on my Silverstone LC03V.
Thanks for the info.
