every one. I'm in a big trouble. My computer (HP ProBook 4230s) has two OS----Archlinux and Win 7.

When I use Archlinux, after halt my computer, it will start up after a while without press power. And there is an other thing. My computer's clock will be wrong. Many times I change it in bios, but it wrong again.

If I turn off the computer from Win 7, it will never start up untill pressing power bottom. And the clock will be right. I also used ubuntu\debian\mageia, and both of them are fine with my notebook. Is there some configure is wrong with my ArchLinux?

Seems like the issue is how windows and linux uses the system time.

See if making windows use the system time as utc helps the time issue.

As for system restarting when you try to halt it; if it happened both for windows and linux I'd check the physical powerbutton (to see if it's a pushbutton stuck in the on position), but since it only happens in linux I'm guessing you actually are rebooting instead of halting. While searching I seem to read that there seem to be some bug in Arch causing shudowns to be changed into reboot calls.

Assuming you're a "sudoer" on your system, try this from a console when you want to shut down:

sudo shutdown -hP now #shutdown and power off the system now

Hopefully this should work even if the "shutdown" button in the GUI is accidentally causing reboot.
