Dear all I have recently encountered a rather bizarre problem that has begun to really irritate me. A day or two ago I tried to shutdown my PC. I selected shutdown on windows xp and windows proceeded to shut down. However I believe for a second or so I saw an error of some sort, but then it dissappeared. Windows xp took quite a while to shut down. Eventually it did so did the monitor, and the hard drives. However the fans on the cpu and the casing did not power down but remained on!
I then tried to power down the system by pressing the power switch on my antec 900 casing to no avail. The only thing that it did was reboot the system. The system rebooted with no problems.
I have noticed increased xp shutdown times.
I've tried going into the bios and changed the settings. I've even pulled the power socket out and cleared cmos (left it to the clear settings switch for a couple of hours)
I hate having to power down my system from my corsair 620HX PSU. I just down know what to do.
I've only built this rig two months ago I had no problems up until now.
Could anyone please help find the light at the end of the tunnel.

I also tried holding the power button for around 30 secs but to no avial.
