PC was working properly until about 2 weeks ago; windows shuts down properly
(turn off hd, monitor) but the power supply fan still running, I have to turn

Contact the PC manufacturer for assistance with your hardware problem.

Check the settings in BIOS Setup for ACPI support. If it is disabled,
enable it. Otherwise, you probably have either a failing power supply or
motherboard.

system is shut down until the Temp goes down to a certain point.I have an
Antec PSU that does this.

Thanks for the advice. I did change the power supply and that took care of
the problem.

Once again, thanks to everyone that took their time to help out.
