Re: Computer Not Shutting Off

I don't know if these things use a latching relay or a triac, but it looks like the latching device driver (just a transistor) is not operating.  That would certainly account for the behaviour as switching off the mains switch would automatically unlatch the power device. 

I must admit that I don't usually switch off the PSU at the back of the PC, but it's no hardship I guess.  I doubt that there is a safety issue except that leaving the PSU on all the time would not be a good idea.
