This probably is not model 44; is it 26, 30 or 31?

Yes, thank you,

Would you mind to completely disable processor frequency scaling and
check whether the powerdown problem goes away on your system as well? I
do not know which distro you are using, but on some systems "chkconfig
cpuspeed off; reboot" would do the job. When the system then reboots,
"halt" should correctly power off the system.
