Does the machine power off correctly if you close all your applications, and then do
sync; sudo poweroff -f This will directly tell the kernel to power off, without any userspace action in between. Hence the closing of applications and "sync" to write any outstanding data to the disk. You will also get an fsck on the next boot. If that still does not power off the machine, this is a kernel problem (which I suspect as you get to the "powering off" line).
