Larry, I replaced the power supply inside the computer, not the cords. Lesa
>I have a used HP Pavilion XL866 that came with Windows ME installed. =
Due to some problems that were mostly of my own creation, I installed a =
new version of Windows XP Home, and XP now runs great. However, now when =
I try to power down the machine, only Windows closes and the screen goes =
black, yet the fan and processor keep running. In order to turn off or =
reboot the computer, I have to manually hold down the power button for =
several seconds until all goes silent. I have reinstalled software, =
changed BIOS settings and tried seemingly everything recommended by =
"online experts" -- all to no avail. Anybody have any answers? Thanks.
Larry, here is a copy of the post I sent when I was having a similar =
problem:=20
I run WinXP. About a month ago, I noticed that my speakers started =
popping after I shut my comp down. A week or so later, I noticed that I =
still heard noise from my comp after it seemed to shut down correctly. I =
opened it up, and the fans are still running, and the power light is =
flickering. The only way to get the fans off is to cut the electricity =
or use the switch at the back of the comp. =20
I don't know if this is what your problem is, it sounds like it could =
be. I replaced the power supply and I have never had anymore problems. =

Lesa,
Thanks for your input. Are you talking about replacing the power supply
inside the computer? All I see is the AC cord and the monitor cable.
