Shutdown problem in Vostro 3900

Hello,

I recently bought Vostro 3900 Mini Tower. If I click Shutdown or use button on PC to switch off, it won't shutdown. It only logs off the user, and power light is on.

Please help. Thanks

    Hi NC2,

    The shutdown button can be configured to log off rather than shut down. It seems that may be what has happened in your case. See this article for details on how to change this.

    Thanks. The article is on Windows 7. My PC came with Windows8.1, and there is no right click option on Shutdown

    Ok, sorry about that. Here's an article describing how to solve some general shutdown problems in 8.1. The same options apply to the power button, so I think this should point you in the right direction.
