Ongoing PSU for MB? (1 Viewer)

Sorry to hear that made no difference. Check out the following forum thread, it's where I found my solution but there are a few other possible causes detailed there: Annoyances.org - Fans still running in standby mode (Windows XP Discussion Forum)

Thanx for your help, but remember the problem is also when powering the computer off.
Not only when going into hibernation/standby.

Think you have a PSU problem if above is true, just not disconnecting itself on shutdown.

Do not remember you mentioning that bit otherwise would have said this straight away.

I can see that my phrasing in the first post is somewhat vague. But never the less my problem is also when powering off the PC - going into "Soft off" or "G2"

I would also guess that it is a PSU problem, but only problem is.. I have tried with another PSU and it does exactly the same thing (this PSU works in another PC in the house).

So I am looking to be convinced that it is the PSU, so I can get a new one soon (but do not like the idea of getting a PSU and it does not solve the problem)

I am more convinced that it is a MB problem ?

Dim moment

Do the fans shutdown after about 10 minutes, as this could be a safety feature, specific to this motherboard.

I have not tried to wait that long, but I have tried something like five minutes. Later I will try to leave it running(but not running) for a while..

I am puzzled

There's nothing in the manual about this as a feature, i know a lot of laptops do this to cool components down after shutdown.

Even googling does not bring up any answers.

Nope, I have now tried to wait more than one hour - still runs the fans..

what seems more plausible - MB or PSU replacement?

that the latest guidelines for power supplies design, there are a few updates, mainly efficiency\upped power ratings.

I honestly do not know regarding which is faulty, cannot find out much about this besides apple had this problem with some of there models, which a BIOS update repaired, may be worth checking that out, updating Bios that is, if ones available.

hehe, one of the first things I did was to update the BIOS..
