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 ? Asus A7v333 AthlonXP 1900+ 350W PSU Jonas |

Asus A7v333 AthlonXP 1900+ 350W PSU Jonas 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.. |

Also check the power button on the PC to insure it's not sticking. |

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. |
