Re: disabling auto reboot after electricity flactuated or interruption
Hello avelnatz32, welcome to PCHF.
The power must be completely cut for at least a second or two before the PC will switch off. If there is even a small amount of power to keep the PC alive, the lower power will be perceived as an onboard fault rather than a power cut, which would reboot the PC instead of shut it down.
I wouldn't normally suggest this, but as a test, when your PC is doing nothing, disconnect the power cable for a couple of seconds and reconnect. The BIOS is the only software method of shutting that PC down after a power cut.
EDIT: Marked as Answered.
