hellow sujaanpals,
Try the following option, if you have latest system with ATX power supply go to the bios setup and see the power supply setting if it is in ATX change to AT.
Mail me your result.

There is a registry setting that should do the trick. Setting the REG_SZ value to "1" enables this feature... IF it is supported in the system's BIOS.

Here is the registry key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\PowerDownAfterShutdown:REG_SZ:1

Setting the REG_SZ value to 1 enables the auto power down. If you enable the PowerDownAfterShutdown option in the registry, clicking Shut Down The Computer on the Shut Down menu automatically powers down the computer when Windows NT is finished shutting down (if this feature is supported by the computer's BIOS).

More information can be had from Knowledge Base article Q155117 "Shutdown And Power Off Does Not Appear on Shut Down Menu."
