I am trying to shut down my PC but it is not shutting down!

I am using windows 7. When I say shut down (from start menu), windows is shutting down screen comes up. After several seconds display goes off but all the fans in PC (power supply, GPU, CPU, inlet/outlet) and also the power LED, keep running. What might be the reason behind this? Is it a hardware issue or software/OS related issue?

I just re-installed my OS couple of hours back but issue still persists.

When I say display goes off, It is not because of the power option or sleep mode. Display really goes off and doesn't come back on until I switch off the main switch and start it again.

I booted system with Fedora 18 live usb, System didn't shut down even while using Fedora.

I booted windows 7 in safe mode, when I try to shut down my PC, windows is shutting down screen comes up and it freezes.

It's a HARDWARE issue, since you have the same problem with Linux, and a freshly installed version of Windows.

First, run MEMTEST www.memtest.org for a full pass (or until errors). If it fails, check each stick one at a time.

If it passes, you unfortunately have to swap parts, such as the graphics card.

I had that problem with my PC not wanting to shut down also. I had to unplug it from the outlet and let it stay off for a while before I can get it to come back on right. I ran my computer and safe mode with networking for awhile. But like rookie of the year said have you tried any virus scans or programs to help clean your PC. Sometimes we can have to many programs on there that slows it up and make it go on the fritz. Try looking at what programs you really don't need or use as often and remove them to see if your computer performs better. Hope I gave you some ideas.

I really don't see how it could be software related when it's not only a FRESH COPY of Windows and Linux that have the issue. Those are two completely different Operating Systems.

Hi Photonboy, it is Photonboy. Do you also think the Forum is a little messed up? No? You are an idiot...
