        "Diagnostics" –> "Halt System"

        Alternatively you can go to the "Diagnostics" --> "Command Prompt" and shut down the same way you would shutdown your standard FreeBSD. ( # shutdown -h now )

            Yeah. But with the command prompt way it should shut down completely.

                Try
                shutdown -p now

                (at least this powers my virtual box pfsense off and doesnt halt it)

                    rebuild, would seem a hardware issue, as the machine is older, PIII 550

                      Sounds to me like your box doesn't support ACPI.
