I recently put together a pc with a Intel (Prescott) P4 2.8 GHZ chip, Asus P4P800 mobo, Nvidia Geforce 4600 and a 420watt Raidmax case. Windows Xp is installed. The pc shutdowns and restarts normally except the cpu fan continues to spin after Windows XP is shutdown. The power supply has a powerswitch. If I turn off the power supply switch and power back on, the cpu fan starts to run but the video does not come up. I have shutoff the powersupply, clear the bios and poweron the powersupply. When that is done, then the pc boots up, Windows XP works. If the power supply is not turned off, I can boot into Windows XP, restart, shutdown etc. But in each case, the cpu fan continues to spin after powerdown. Is this normal for the fan to continue to spin for a P4?
any suggestions? Sorry for being so wordy
