Shutdown problem in vista

[yocknics]

Hi all,

   Pleasant day to all, I got problem in shutting down my PC and laptop. I installed Vista OS in my laptop and desktop but the same problem i encounter. I cannot shutdown properly my PC. the Monitor and CPU got shutdown but the light of my mouse and keyboard have still light.

   I don't think my CPU  got shutdown because when i turn on again my laptop and Desktop have sign that i did not properly shutdown my PC. Please help me in this matter i am only a beginner in Installing OS.

When did this start?

Have you tried a System Restore?

Sound like a bios setting. Did you upgrade you bios? If you have a old motherboard You may need to upgrade it.

Nope i did not do anything to my bios, i just install the OS in my PC. my desktop and laptop are all brand new so don't think i need to upgrade my motherboard. I think your right i only have problem in bios. but how i don't how to change settings..

I had a similar problem when I first used Vista until I learned that by default Vista’s power button on the desktop does not shut down the machine, but puts it into sleep mode. The power switch might also be configured for sleep mode instead of shut down. If power to the computer is disconnected while it’s in sleep mode you would get the improper shutdown warning next time you turn it on.

Open Control Panel and look in Power Options. It has settings for whether the computer will sleep, hibernate or shut down. Or click the Start button on the desktop, look in the very bottom right corner of the menu and click the little arrow there. It will give shutdown options.

@Carbon Dudeoxide
 its happen after my installation of vista. even i reinstall again still same.

@bromide
I check also my power options settings. But my settings in power button is in shutdown mode not in sleep mode. it is inside the power plan settings and choose what the power button does. do i am correct? but still the same.

@ Broni
By Power button I mean the “shut-down” button on the pop-up menu that appears when you click the Start button on the screen. I don’t know if that’s the proper name for it. It has a circle and vertical line icon on it.

@yocknics
Here is a link to an MS support article about BIOS-related problems, as xcharge50 suggested.

He solved the problem by disabling his display driver.

The CPU turn in to sleep mode when i press the shutdown button. i check already the settings of power settings but still the same. I remember when i install my Vista OS i didn't change the clock of the bios. do u think it's possible the problem come from there?
