BassJunkie Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I gave my computer to my mom when I bought a laptop and it has worked fine. Last year the power supply went out and I put in a new one, all was good for about a year and then suddenly its acting up. When you turn the computer off, the hard drive stays spinning. No lights are on or anything. I'm very confused why the hard drive is continuing to run. I checked all the wiring to see if i could spot a short causing the power supply to stay on but there isnt anything that I can see that is grounding out. Anyone ever heard of this?

Hotdog Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Only thing I can think of is to check you power management settings in Bio's Quote (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Only thing I can think of is to check you power management settings in Bio's Pretty sure I checked that but I'll double check this weekend when I go home. I'd like to get this thing up and running at somepoint even if it needs a few dollars invested.

Hotdog Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Could also try moving the HDD to a different accessory plug and see if that will work.

RooTxBeeR Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Id say the power mamagment in the BIOS, also make sure the wires are good, because one of the wires of the four that come from the power supply to connect to devices is to turn things off when the pc powers off, I snipped it on my old computer and since then stuff stayed on even after powering down.
