Well, of course it may be a broken BIOS, but it also may be some bug in
linux poweroff functions, especially if you're using ACPI

Does WinXP turn off independant of the timer setting? (if it does, linux
should be able to do that too)

The other thing you may try is to switch your linux kernel from APM to
ACPI or vice versa.
