When putting the computer in standby, the power supply and case fan doesn't turn off. I had to change the motherboard because my old one broke and since then this problem started. I was wondering if there are settings to change in Windows or if it has some settings I have to change in the motherboard or the jumpers might be wrong. Or if the motherboard doesn't somehow support standby, but Im not sure how to find that out. Thanks for any reply

Click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> Power Options -> Then edit either standby or click on Hibernate tab

There is nothing I can change that can help. It still does the same thing after.

In standby, the RAM is still "on" and needs power to keep it's data and therefore the PSU and fan need to stay on.

On my old motherboard the case fan and PSU would turn off in standby, and on 2 other computers it also turns off. I just need to know what would have to be changed for it to work right.

Enter SETUP (BIOS) and see if it is enabled or disabled in there. To enter SETUP depends on the make of computer but sometimes it is hitting the "delete" key at the post before Windows loads. Sometimes it is the F1 or the F10 keys. Sometimes if you watch the computer screen when you first turn it on, it will tell you what to push to enter setup. This option only last a few seconds so watch closely. BTW, Standby mode on some XP configurations can be shakey.
