Case Fans/Hard Drive LED light on after shutdown

by ncrhodes . Updated 16 years, 12 months ago

I am having a weird problem with my computer when shutting off through the normal XP shutdown process.
The hard drive LED light at the front of case stays on, the case fans (connected to PS connectors, not MB)and my Video Card fan all spin slowly. I checked the voltages on the +5v and +12v rail, and both read 3.75 v when the computer was off.
The PS is new, MB is 2-1/2 yrs. old. I checked on Google and found a search on this site that had someone with a similar problem and the MB was found to be bad…I think someone mentioned a leakage path between the 5 volt standby power, and the 5 volt main power as maybe the problem.
The computer works fine otherwise.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
