Rebooting instead of Shut Down

Got a new Thermaltake Smart 600W PSU to replace one that I thought was causing freezing issues, etc. Either way, I need a replacement PSU for a future build. But this one has been failing to shut down WIN10, but instead reboots it ever since I put it in. The old PSU didn't do this and nothing else had changed. I tried disabling fast startup which the internet said was a solution but it's not helped. I even installed WIN7 instead (for many reasons) and it's doing the same thing there. Any other suggestions before I return this thing? Not sure what the SMART feature does.

That could be the PSU, could be the motherboard. Is this the old Q6600 rig? If so, and the PSU is new, then I would suspect the Q6600 mobo.
