Hello, @austenum
Only root privileged programs can gracefully shutdown a system. So when a system shuts down in a normal way, it is either a user with root privileges or an acpi script. In both cases you can find out by checking the logs.
What happens when you examine the /var/log/messages log? Can you see something dodgy or related with the shutdown?
