Hi people,

I've been installing a new system the last couple of days and I can't seem to get it working properly. One of the troubles, is that all case fans and the CPU cooler fan keep spinning after completely shutting down the pc. I've read in various post in different fora that my motherboard is malfunctioning and I should demand a replacement.

My system consists of this:
Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme 4
CPU: AMD FX-8350
RAM: 2x DDR3 DIMM 8 GB from Kingston
Graphics card: nVidia GeForce 660 Ti

i'm very curious for your reactions and thanks in advance.

Had the same problem yesterday installing a new system. I had to set power loading to enable in the bios power management tab. This was done on a gigabyte board.
Hey...my system does this,so when i shutdown the system all 4 fans from the case that are connected all via molex directly to mobo..remain on and the gpu too...but ths gpu after a minute or 2 goes off but fans remain on and the lights are go off or on the same,like they stutter. Anyway...i have an gigabyte mobo so i will try this setting from bios! I m not familiar with the bios settings so i will try to put that setting on enable. I hope will fix pc s shutdown issue. I have it for 6 or 7 months and this problem persists from the beggining. I just turn the psu off after shutdown the system.
