Ok, when I shut down the computer, how come the light on the back of the computer doesn't turn off? is there a way besides just unpluging the computer plug? this happens to HP and Gateway... or is the computer just like that on all computers?
Do you mean a little LED on the network card? That's normal. Just pull out the plug from the wall if it annoys you.
Don't some PCs have switches on the back of the power suply? Just turn that off if it annoys you. Edit: Indo gets in first, again
i use a powerbar to completely turn off my system after windows turns off the pc. this way every thing is off & to turn it on i just trn on the powerbar than the pc case. monitor & speaker is already on when i turn on the powerbar
