Haunted hardware???

[ScratchHackeryt]

So I recently got this problem with my laptop that if i restart my laptop (this applies to shutting it down too) it shuts down and then is left in an ON state while everything is off (so the fans are spinning but the hdd i off as its not making any noise)

is this REAL haunted hardware? any way i can fix this?

Then perhaps try the suggestions there.

And I'm not sure you should mark my response as a 'best answer' when you haven't benefited yet.

Fair, though that generally indicates that the thread isn't worth looking at because there's nothing more to contribute.

Check in epu settings on the bios and it could also be the fans are runnning to cool down the components so they don't over heat. It sounds like an epu configuration to me.
