I'll give it a go.  it looks like a BIOS option, if in BIOS, you set to turn
on the machine by keyboard (anykey, password or hot-key), then when you shut
down, the machine won't turn off, it will sit there and waiting keyboard
input.  so even you did "shut down", but the BIOS won't turn off power, and
the keyboard  will still be powered (so you can key in, and the BIOS can
respond).

If my guess turned to be ture, I suggest you turn the option off for safety
reason (the Anykey option is the worst of worst, never use it!).

> The num light stays on after the computer shuts down. I assembled this
computer and everything works correctlty. I went into the BIOS and selected
"num off" and the light stayed off on the keyboard after I shut down. Then,
I went back into the BIOS and selected num "on" again which should be the
default position, booted up and shut down again and the "num lock" light on
the keyboard stayed on. I have never seen this problem before
