            "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.

                  yeah, tried that already, thanks for the response

                  the console then shows '#' and does not power down

                    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.
