To get into your bios it should tell you on the screen during powerup. For me I have to hit Del to get into it.
You should see an option called power, hit your right arrow key until you get to it. Once there you should see some options.
One should be something like Restore on ac power loss, next to it are some options, hit enter and then use the arrow keys to select the one you want, which is probably for it to say off, select that and hit enter.
Next exit and save the settings. It should now stay powered off.
Hopefully that was a little helpful.. I'm sure someone else could have explained it better >_<

You do not want it to power on after a power failure. Some people do though.
To reiterate. You shut power off to your outlets (ie: power failure). You turned your outlets on (power restore), you want your comp to stay off.
You want to option to be off. Make the change and save the settings. Its usually F10.

Wake on LAN (WOL)
or Wake on X (insert activity here)
and disable it/them.

The comp restarts after a power failure and this person doesn't want that.
Its a setting in bios, OR, a very remote problem with a stuck on/off switch, or board.
Run the Everest program (I forgot about that) Thanks Adenalin.
Then in the left column, expand the motherboard, and give us the motherboard name.

Its not a wake on lan issue.

I mentioned WOL because it still *could* be that, however unlikely. A motherboard manual will definitely help here though.
