Hello. I wanna know if its normal that PC components (cpu, fans, psu, etc.) still on, long after a shutdown action?

I've had problem with my PC before (different problem) and it led to a mobo replacement. It runs great afterwards, but I notice that when I shut down my PC, the monitor turn off okay, but the Pc component still on for about a minute after the monitor off. (monitor's off around 10s after i click shutdown - win8.1 x64). There's also a time where I had to turn it off by force.

Everytime i turn it back on, everything's normal, but before the regular one-beep was heard, my cpu fan are twitching. I told this to the technician that built my pc, but he said it was normal.

If I turn it by force (after the monitor's off), there is no error or anything when I turn it on again, but the twitching cpu fan still there.

What could be the reason to this? I don't think it was the mobo again...

Thanks in advance.

The tech is right it's normal. What happens is your components such as the PSU are still hot. Keeping the fans running for a short period after allows them to cool off.
