I'd suspect a conflict with a power management driver or possibly a hotkey utilisation program the notebook manufacturer has written, and Windows 7.
However since you're not running the retail version there's not a great deal of reason in reinstalling it to troubleshoot the problem - can't you lay hands on a full release version to test it in a stabler environment?
I would revert to your original power settings. Much like Jacee's screen shot, your laptop should shut down when you hit the power button, when you select shutdown from the start menu or when you close the laptop. You may have inadvertently done something that has disabled shutdown. Let us know if that makes a difference.

Ive disabled hibernate a while back thinking that was the problem but it persisted i made the power button to shut down the computer and the start menu to shutdown as well. the laptop doesn't stay on all the time i have to do hard shutdown to shut it off. i jnow that is bad but i have no other option until i get this issue solved.
