Hi,

Whenever I shutdown or put the computer in a sleep mode, seemingly the hard drive keeps working (and the fans).....

what might be the problem?

Hard drive is:
WD640 AALS



Thanks Nizar
 
I put it on S1 and S3, problem never changes.

Only if I put optimized default settings it will work until next restart (not always...).

I guess it is PS, any more suggestions?
 
Either could be PSU or still could be the motherboard. What is your system specs as in cpu, gpu, motherboard, psu?

The psu should be strong enough to run the system. But even though corsair is a good brand, they still do go bad. I would try a different psu first, borrow one if you have to just to test. Also if your bios settings aren't staying then maybe you have a bad cmos battery.
