Hi vanrebl...

There may be a setting in the BIOS under Power Management for wake to keyboard, but it doesn't really sound like the machine is actually shutting down.

Open "Power Options" from Control Panel. Under the "Advanced" tab, make sure that "Shut Down" is selected in the drop down menu in the "Power buttons" section. "Apply" any changes you made and click "Ok".

Let me know what you find.

that happens on certain motherboards. the machine is shut down, the process is normal. I've seen my boyfriend's computer do this after a perfectly normal shutdown. it's a setting in the bios that you have to change. with this setting activated, the keyboard lights stay on, even when the computer is shut down. so look in the bios.
