When I shut computer down,my monitor goes blank but PC does not switch off and I have to switch off at wall socket,does anyone know what the problem could be,it only started a couple of days ago and I can't think of any reason why,i have not downloaded any new programmes.
 
What method are you using to shutdown? Also, let us know your operating system, and if you know what lead to the problem, or did it just suddenly start doing this?

(by the way, if the system fails to shut down, dont pull the plug, you can hold the power on button on the case for about 5 seconds, and it will force it to shut down)
 
I have Windows ME,
I click on Start at bottom of monitor then click on shut down,this only started happening a few days ago for no apparent reason
 
Forogot to check, but when you shut down, what happens on your monito, does it say windows is shutting down, than before the process finishes, the monitor goes out, or does the monitor immediatley go off, and it doesnt show any process? By they way, your sure your clicking shut down right, cause I know there is hibernate and standby which you could click by accident, but I doubt thats the case.

I would try running a systems tool in safe mode, like disk defragmentar.
