Default I cant shut down !

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 ?

Stuck Pwr Switch..

Try one of these 2..
I would probably go for this..
Pull the power swich connector off of the board (after you start) and then
shut down..
or
Hold the power button in after the computer turns on.. It should cut back
off..


most boards reset after 3/4 seconds of holding the switch.. But that's not
the case with a stuck key..
Basically you get this..

The Power has to be on.. and THEN.. the switch has to be depressed before it
will hsut down.. so the power would stay on..

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.

Same problem with a very old computer (Celeron 400). Seemed to be a problem
with the motherboards ATX support, so I disabled APM and such and now it's a
manual power down for me.
