Hello,
I need your help to resolve a problem.
The short version is, that my (Pegatron) motherboard stays on when I shutdown my laptop. Although I found a couple of threads about the problem, the majority suggest that it is a psu/cable/memory problem.
The fully informative version:
I recently got a new ssd disk to upgrade my laptop's hdd. I plugged it through usb and partitioned it in NTFS format (following some tutorials about things to do when you can not see your new ssd in windows). I then replaced my hdd and tried to install windows 10. The disk was not showing up during the installation process, so (after another tutorial) I used a linux livecd that I had available (ubuntu mate) to made it unallocated. I started the installation process again, but the disk was showing up as 3 partitions. I picked the larger and installed windows, because I though that I could merge them later but for some reason windows refused to cooperate... I decided to plug in the old disk and get more informations before proceeding. Everything worked fine, until I decided to shutdown the laptop. The screen went black as normal, but the fan and the led indicators stayed on. I waited for about 30 minutes before using the power button. I tried to shutdown through ubuntu (I have a dual boot setup) but the same thing happened.
I did not touched any cable inside the laptop or any other component (or, at least, I did not notice so), just the disk, so I do not think that is the problem. I am more worried that while I had the ssd plugged in, windows downloaded something that messed up the previous setup.
Has anyone any suggestion?
Thank you in advance
PS: It may be irrelevant, but computer's time was also messed up.
