Problem:<br />
When powering this machine down, or turning off, it will not power completely off. &nbsp;The power supply fan will kick on for about 2 secs every 5 to 8 secs. &nbsp;The power button in the front stays steady amber, and when it does this cycle, it will blink amber, flash green, and go back to a steady amber... rinse and repeat.<br />
This machine will boot up into windows without any problems, the problem always happens only when it is shut down.<br />
<br />
History:<br />
This machine came to me, and would not power up, we replaced the power supply, and it worked fine for about 2 days, and our customer brought it back to me because of this new problem. &nbsp;I have swapped out power supplies to make sure that is not the problem.<br />
<br />
I reviewed the CMOS log, and it shows that the machine was loosing the information in CMOS, and that the battery was failing.... I tested the battery, it was fine... however I still replaced.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
thanks

Dell 4600c Will not competely Power off

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
