PC's draw power even when turned off as explained here

If windows does not actually turn off then a few things to try as suggested by Microsoft


There is the remote possibility that windows is not actually shutting down. Usually a warning to that effect is shown on the screen but depending on the fault condition the display and keyboard may turn off first. When this happens, there is no obvious way to tell if Windows actually turned off the PC.

Try the following: Wait 10 minutes after clicking the shutdown button and then unplug the system. Then plug back in, turn it on and bring up the event viewer. Look in "system" for a message to the effect "the last shutdown was unexpected". It would be dated within a minute or two after you powered it up. if you see that type of message then windows did not shut down and you can try any of the above as suggested by Microsoft

Let me know what you find out.
