So it turns on immediately after switching off? (similar to a restart? or does the computer shut all the way down, then restart?) My dead dell did this, I would have about 5 seconds to switch off the power strip, and would try to start up using the power still in the circuitry. Also mine would start up 3 or 4 seconds after turning the power strip back on, I had no control over it, I couldn't use the power button to start it up sooner.
