Hi there.

Yesterday i opened the case of my pc to do some dust removal.
I used a clean brush for this purpose, whipping away dust from the
motherboard.
After i reinstalled what i had taken out, following Problem occured:
I startet Windows, did some work and when i wanted to power off the pc
(with Windows-Shut down ), the pc would power down, but imediately
after the
fans stop rotating the system would power on again !.
So i went and disconnected every component from the motherboard but the
CPU and the PSU ( eben the RAM), but the problem persisted.
I used another PSU from a friend, connected it to the motherboard: still

the same Problem.

Has anybody a hint, why the system still wont power down ?

Asus A7v333
AthlonXP 1900+
350W PSU

Check the BIOS Power Management Section under the AC Power Loss setting.
Make sure its disabled. Also check the power button on the PC to
insure it's not sticking.
