Hello guys, my PC seems to not shut off completely when I hit the power button when I do so windows will shut down like normally, but my computers fans will not stop spinning same with the RGB. It does shut off if you reset the PC though in windows.

Only when I press reset through windows, then the PC will fully turn off, but then it will turn back on again as a reset would normally do

Apparently your problem could be due to windows entering a kind of hibernation state. So try disabling fast startup in the power settings. If you have that enabled then windows enters a kind of hibernation state when you shut down, it does this so that it can startup faster. It's in control panel > hardware and sound > power options > "choose what the power button does." Then you'll see it there, just have to select the thing that says "change settings that are currently unavailable." If that doesn't fix it then check your BIOS settings and there'll be some RGB stuff there to check probably. But keep fast startup turned off.

This all started happening when my USB on my case broke

No, it’s not like that

The fans will just keep on spinning with the RGB. I will try that when I get home though.
