My old machine (bout 6 years) isn't shutting off properly - it'll power off after i do the Start -> shut down thing, but i've noticed the LEDs/fan is still running. It's not Sleeping, as it won't wake from the keyboard, but will power up again fine and there's nothing obvious in my Events [well, i do have a Type 11 Controller error thingy about "harddisk2", except no hardware is listed as Harddisk2 and it's not happening regularly, or at least it's hadn't happened when i checked last night about this issue].
running 4gb on Win7 64, nothing has been installed etc for over a year, most i've done recently is uninstall/reinstall mice and my Wacom.

TIA
 
thanks for the replies, but....the other night i ended up long-pushing the case button to power off properly, which killed the fan etc. Last night i powered up, nowt in the Events etc, no issues during use, powered down and it shut down no prob at all :-/
dunno if it was a passing bleb or a precursor of an upcoming fail but i think it's time for a "spec me" thread just to be safe!

cheers anyways.
