When I put my pc on standby,the screen turns off but the fans in the pc are
still running.This is the first time it has done this,usually everything
shuts down in standby.Can anyone help me?
 
Matt, open up your PC case and determine exactly which fans are running. The
power supply should be running, pushing air out the back vents of the
computer. Also, feel the hard drive for heat and vibration, as it ought to
have shut down. What is the CPU fan and any other fans doing?
Then let us know.
 
Thanks for offering your help. I have set up my pc to hibernate instead.I
didnt realize that I could put the pc into hibernation by holding shift on
the turn off option. Now the fans shut down with the monitor.
