PC does not switch off!

[cyrus_bsc]

Hi All!

I have a problem. I just built my PC and it does not want to switch off with the power button and the screen stays blank as well with no error beeps. What could this be?

Thanks!

Cy.

are you sure you've connected the on/off switch to the correct header on the motherboard?

Go to control panel - power - advanced, and ensure that 'Shut Down' is the selection under "When I press the power button on my computer".

Why can't you just do Start - Turn off computer by the way ?

P.S. Welcome to the Hexus boards

No. The problem is when I switch the PC on and boot it can't switch off ant the monitor stays black. But I have found out what the problem was. The mobo does not support the chip.

You sure you don't just need to hold the power button in for ~4 seconds? The way it's been for a while
