    Hey guys,

    I am having a real issue as of yesterday with Win 7 HM 64bit and shutting down.

    Some Notes: I replaced the processor, optical drive, and wireless card yesterday.

    I didn't remove the old wireless card driver or optical drive driver or uninstall them from the device manager (because I am an idiot)

    The issue is if I run the computer for about an hour or so and go to shut down, the screen turns off but the lights, fans, etc. are still on. I have to manually shut it down by holding the power button down. Upon restart, I don't get an error stating "Windows was not shut down Properly" or anything like that.

    However, if I run the computer for about 10 min and shut down, then I have no problems... any ideas?
