If that's the case, then something is amiss.
My brainstem is always plugged in, and I have no problems with the DSATX starting up or shutting down.
Make certain there's no short anywhere. Also make certain the brainstem is connected properly. It only works one way, and there's no clear instructions that I've found that indicate which way it's supposed to connect to the DSATX.

As far as the ACC going low and the DSATX not shutting down the PC....
Are you certain that the ACC line is dropping to 0v? I've seen some that drop to 4-6v for whatever reason. In fact another forum member had that very problem.

Another thing that I've done is connect to the brainstem using a different PC (a laptop, in my case) and control it that way. I can startup and shut down the PC, change settings, etc. from the laptop.
