Shut down? What a turn off.

[blankoos]

My newly built PC won't turn off when I try to shut it down.

My monitor and essentials turn off but not the components nor fans turn off in my PC.

 

Heard it might have something to do with the reused memory I have...

I've only had it for 2 years but I maybe might have damaged it during installation. (?)

(8GB DDR3 1600MHz)

 

My windows 8.1 is having some issues.

I thought this might be causing the weird shut down problem.

I had windows installed on a HDD that I also moved from my old computer.

But every now and then it tells me that my windows is already being used or something like that.

(Probably thinks it belongs to my old computer, but I have no clue to be honest.)

 

Last cause I can think of.

During the building of my PC I had to reset the CMOS so I clicked on the CMOS reset button on my motherboard.

And now the reset CMOS button lights up blue when I boot and shut the PC off.

I'm not sure if it did so before I clicked it.

Maybe I have to unclick it or something?

 

I'm obviously quite desperate for solutions as I want my PC to be perfect.

Sorry for the rambling.

I thought you can't reuse OS from a old HDD

Well I'm actually using the drive.

Sorry for the poor explaination.
