Hey, Im using Windows Seven Professional x64 bit. (Education Copy) I go to shutdown (start,Shutdown) After its usual stuff :P screens goes blank the light goes off but i can still hear the computer going (Fans going n all) Why is this? I left it on for about 4 hours after shutdown seing whats what and it was still doing it. I had this trouble during Beta stages aswell. Any help would be Nice.
I would check and see if you have the latest bios update for your motherboard and i would also try to make sure nothing else was plugged into the system usb stuff and see if that works.
Other things to consider:
Have you installed any of the Vista x64 drivers?
Have you disconnected all but the system hard drive?
Are you overclocking your CPU?
How much RAM do you have? Is it all from the same manufacturer? If you have more than 2GB, have you tried removing all but 2GB?
I got it on 2GB now
The Computer itself did its usual Microsoft will sort it out for you and install drivers.
Its being over clocked
Hi,
I'm having the same problem.
I've disconnected my 2nd HDD (1tb WD Caviar Green) and 2 cd rom drives connected by IDE. Plus i've tried it with a different graphics card and PSU.
Still get the same thing. Windows 7 (64 bit) getting to the "Shutting Down" screen and it sticks on that. Fans still going, KB and mouse have turned off, hard drive light activity stopped.
I've seen another thread about disabling anti-virus software to see if that works so that's my next step (it's McAfee). I doubt that will work but anything's worth a try!
My system spec is on my profile if that helps!
I've just seen it's a slightly different problem as my screen doesn't turn off, it remains on the shut down screen.
