Unable To Fully Shutdown The Computer

[Kunal Kashyap]

Hello Guys,

     I am running windows 7 professional 64bit and i am unable to shutdown the computer,

it still draws power from the wall socket even after shutting it down but the motherboard, HDD, power supply still draws power.

 

i am using and old rig 

Windows 7 64-Bit

Intel Core i3-2100 non overcloackable

2GB Kingston Ram @ 1333Mhz

500GB WD Blue 5200RPM

Intel Motherboard DHW61WW Bios Updated And Downgrading Didn`t Solve It

Zebronics 450W power supply

 

Even After Shutting the os the DIsplay did turn OFF but all the hardware still works expect the power LED

 

The Problem Presist In every OS from Windows To Linux To Hackintos...

Most desktops have a power LED on the motherboard, and it stays lit even after you turn the computer off. When you say the HDD still draws power, do you mean it's still spinning?

How much power does it draw? Modern power supplies have a standby power rail (5v standby), which is used to keep things like USB powered when the machine is shut down.  This rail is designed to be always-on. Your power consumption should be very low, a few watts, unless you actually have hardware that heavily loads the 5vsb rail, like devices charging via USB. It shouldn't keep your hard drive running, as hard drives run off 12v.

 

 

This functionality can usually be disabled in the bios, and is usually called "always on USB" or similar. You'll also need to disable all of the wake timers as those rely on 5vsb interrupts.

I don't have the heavy power devices attached to it, and the power draw is also the same when the system is running...
