Did you click 'Shut Down' and not 'Stand By'?

mate this maybe in some motherboard's settings, you have to RTFM again (read the manual )

What version of Windows are you using?!


Win-XP:
Close all the windows and from the desktop press "alt-f4", this will bring up "Turn off Computer", select "Turn Off". What happens then?!

Vista:
Close all the windows and from the desktop press "alt -f4", this will bring "shutdown windows", make sure it says "shutdown" and click "OK". What happens then?!
