PC won't shut down

I'm running Zorin 17.2 core and for whatever reason no matter which way I try, it will not just shut down it immediately powers back on. I have fast boot off in the bios and I'm running the OS exclusively. Anyone have any ideas?

*double check fastboot is disabled
*disable wake-on-lan or any similar "wake" settings in bios
*run in terminal

journalctl | grep -i acpi

look for any errors or warnings

*look at shutdown logs to see if there's some issue

journalctl -b -1 -e

*test with an earlier kernel to see if kernel related

PS: a temporary workaround shut off is

sudo poweroff

also, if you on wayland , change to Xorg and see if the same
you did check your actual power management settings i suppose?
