Many people have been having problems with their system not
automatically closing down when they 'turn off' their PC. This is
because of the APM setting which is not enabled. To enable it, right
click on my computer go to properties select hardware and click device
manager.
Click view and then on show hidden devices. You should see the NT ATM /
Legacy Interface mode with a red cross on it. Double click it and on the
screen that appears at the bottom choose enable from the drop down menu.

Your PC should now automatically switch off completely on shutdown.
