Hi guys,

I am running on a new AMD computer and have a slight problem.
Everytime I click the shutdown button, everything turns off but the fans stay on.

Anyone have the sightest idea why this is happening?


thanks

On certain chassis/PSU the fan continue to operate for a few minutes after shutdown to evacuate all the warm air inside.

Well, it might be because the computer is hibernating or in standby mode? If its on standby, the computer's on/off button should be blinking. : ) Hope that helps

Check your computers BIOS, there may be a setting you can change and also try reading your users manual.
