I had almost the same issue, mine showed an error about the kernel not being 
able to claim resources for a specific device and the powernow problem.
Both are solved after my BIOS upgrade.

About the same here, but I'm not tried to power down yet, so I'm not sure 
whether it has improved. Usually this box is on all the time.

Your problem does look very identical to what I had, so I also expect it to be 
a BIOS issue but of course it's difficult to be absolutely sure about it.
