Before i send my PC back, i wondered if anyone has come across this before.
Machine is 'custom' AsusP5N-ESLI Quad core Intel running XP.
Machine appears to shut down as usual through XP - screen blank etc. but the fans are still running and wont respond to 20 secs of holding power button. Then, to restart have to turn off main power then back on at which point it will start normally on the switch.

Any ideas very gratefully received

Have just been searching the daniweb database and it is looking like MB

Probably either mobo or power supply. Do you have another power supply to test with?

Thanks for thoughts, will see whether spareis up to the job

probably a psu issue or one of the power led connections is messed up.
