Default Motherboard Power Problem

I just built a computer using parts from an old machine. P4 on a
Biostar P4M80-M4 motherboard. Everything runs great, but the
motherboard always seems to be on. I can shut down and the lights on
the front will eventually go off, but the monitor freezes on that last
screen that says Windows is shutting down. Also, both the exhaust fan
and the CPU fan are always on. How can I get the motherboard to power
down?

Thanks,
James

If you can't persuade the computer to power down by software, holding
down the power button for 5 seconds will switch off the PSU.
