Computer not turning off

I have a friends old Tiny brand computer with a Micro Star MS-6340 Ver 1.0 mainboard in it
For some reason the computer will not turn off after windows shuts down, also then computer turns on when the mains socket switch is pushed down and not when pressing the on/ off switch on the front of the case.
Thinking it may the wiring on the switch at fault i dissconected the case wires from the on/off switch and the mainboard but the computer still powers up when the main switch is turned on!!   
Any help on this problem would be much appreciated.  Thanks

This line confused me, which part are you talking about?
In regards to the power up with the switch when the power switch is disconnected from the mainboard are you sure it is disconnected and you didn't disconnect something else?
As for the not shutting down this is probably a windows problem with the APCI.  I usually resolve it with a reinstall of windows since it is usually due by the time this happens.

  • How can I make my computer not turn off (sleep mode, or hybernate)? While plugged into the wall.

    I have two dogs, and i am trying to see which one is tearing up my couch while im away by recording via my built in camera and "iMovie". But after a few times trying, I relised that my computer "sleeps" or "hybernates" after only a half an hour. It is plugged in, and i went to System Prefrences > energy saver > then clicked on power adapter and moved both "computer sleep and display sleep" to never. turned off my screen saver. and still having issues with this. Am i missing somthing?

    Thank you Courcoul, i appericate your help. but if you would have read my whole description, you would have noticed i already tried that. "It is plugged in, and i went to System Prefrences > energy saver > then clicked on power adapter and moved both "computer sleep and display sleep" to never." i also did check the schedule times, and it is off, both wake up times, and sleep times. 

  • I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer.  I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

    I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB.  I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get.  Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain.  Should I cancel my icloud account?

    I appreciate your help.
    Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing.  I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval".  Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there.  But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
    Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
    Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.

  • M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI card installed, now computer will not turn off

    I installed Audiophile 2496 card + "live lite 4" software and now my computer will not turn off. It goes through the motions, but than just reboots. I have to hold the start button to kill it. I also have a Firmtek SATA PCI card and a USB 2.0 PCI card. Is there some way to solve this short of pulling the card?

  • After installing iTunes and iPod, my computer will not turn off

    I am running Windows XP, and have just installed my new iPod nano and iTunes. Now my computer will not turn off. When I select "Turn off computer" in the start menu, the computer goes through the usual process of shutting down -- then it restarts automatically every time! Once it has started up again, it sends an Error report to windows -- but they are not coming forward with a solution for this problem. It appears as a problem created by an "Unknown device driver". I now have to turn my computer off by the wall. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Try running the Combo update first ... OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo), and once it is successfully downloaded, then try to download 10.8.5.
    Sometimes the combo will correct any minor glitches in the system and also ensure all necessary updates to that point are included.

  • Stuck in an update loop, 3 of 3, do not turn off your computer

    Hello,
    We have all the updates ,update automatically.  During this last one, today, our server has shut down and is in a constant loop.  We are getting that the drives are both fine, but there is one error on the start up that has me concerned:
    BMC System Error {SEL} Full
    The system goes through "Configuring updates" Stage 3 0f 3, do not shut down, then on to a blank screen, then restarts on its own, goes through the whole start up, everything looks good except for that BMC error, than the microsoft is loading...and
    right back into "Configuring updates", blank screen - its been on a continuous loop for about a half hour now.
    Suggestions?  The computer does not stay on long enough to do anything, and it never actually gets to a start menu..
    Thanks,

  • Macbook air's fan not turning off and it will not sleep when the lid is closed?

    I downloaded OS X Mavericks yesterday.The fan will not turn off. It runs whenever i turn on the computer. The computer does  not turn off when i close the lid, and the fan still runs. There is also no battery icon anymore on my home screen. Is this just a bug with Mavericks? My computer is a mid 2012 edition.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Screen is white, will not turn off, reset or nothing. what do I do?

    screen is white, will not turn off, reset or nothing. what do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I have a weird sleep issue that just started, I've built a new PC, Win7x64 and just noticed this happening. When I put the computer to sleep manually, the machine looks like it goes to sleep, but the fans keep running and it 'sounds on'. If I wake the PC,
    then put it right back to sleep, it goes into deep sleep and the fans go off. Nothing I can see is keeping it awake, I have a i5-2500k, Asus P68 deluxe mobo, and it seems to be a repeatable issue. If the PC wakes up by itself to do something, then goes back
    to sleep on its own (times out) it goes into deep sleep. It's only when I manually do it that it has the issue. Anyone ever seen this? Thanks!

    I had the same issue a while ago. It ended up being because I added my network printer to the printers folder by clicking 'add a network printer' rather than 'add a local printer'.
    When I added a 'local' printer (and pointed it to the IP Address of the printer) the sleep issue went away. Both methods (network/local) were able to print to my network printer, but the network printer option would result in my fans never spinning down.
    Weird, right?

  • Q180 not turning off sometimes

    Hi, I have a problem with Lenovo Q180 running on windows 7 x64. When I click to turn off computer - sometimes it won't turn off. System shows that computer is turning off - after while it looks like computer is turned off correctly (there is no video signal) but the white power button light indicates that computer is still running (I can also still hear it is running).
    When this sometimes happened I had no other option - I could only plug it off electricity. It did not react on anything.
    Thank you very much for any help

    Check to see if you have the lastest firmware. Should be at 1.1. This additional feature may have been introduced with the firmware.
    Another option is to restore the Nano.

  • After recent updates, mute light will not turn off

    My computer downloaded a bunch of system updates last night, and now the mte light will not turn off.  It still functions properly (turning sound on/off), but the light stays on regardless.  I either have windows 8 or 8.1 not sure what's the difference.
    This question was solved.

    I suggest using Windows system restore to roll back the updates, one at a a time to find the  one that caused it.

  • HT201257 Fan on my MacBook Pro came on and will not turn off, what could be wrong or how do I fix?

    The fan on my MacBook Pro came on out of no where and will not turn off. The computer is not heated nor are any applications running in the background. The seems to be going on full blast. Before now it worked fine. Would turn on or off when need. Please advice what could be wrong or if ther is anything I can do to fix or troubleshoot. Computer is not even a year old.

    LexSchellings: Now I know why you wished me luck and hoped everything would clear up asap hehe. I've been doing some reading and it is quite possible that my MBP late 2011 is sadly part of the probably million of MBP's out there with logic board issues. I am glad I am under warranty (still have to wait and see what apple techs decide on my comp) and sad that my comp will probably be done with in a few years. Not even 4 as it turns out. I can honestly say my old iBook G4 was amazing gave me 8 great years. Never had an issue with it.
    Something funny is that about 10 to 15 mins ago the fan on my comp (the only indicator I got of any issue going on) quite down and the comp was working perfect. It has been running really slow since I noticed the fan being over worked even if nothing is running. Then it started up again and once again quite down, functioned well for like 10 seconds and started being noisy and slow again.
    However there is an issue that bugs me, if according to my AHT results it is a faulty logic board how come my comp is still functioning? Of course being slow and noisy. I've read on some sad stories on here
    Wish me more luck and send me lots of good vives. Going to need them. Especially if I end up not being able to fix the comp.
    Apple is letting me down and to think I just purchased an iPad mini for xmas :/
