Hi there, i have an Asus P4T-E with all cooling fan connect to the board where they are suppose to and all working well eccept when I shut the computer down from the start button. Everything shut normally but all the fan keep on running (eccept the power supply) Also, if I put the system on standby they will shut down. I've contact Asus, and finally got an answer a month and a half later telling me to contact my vendor !
That sure help a lot since he went out of business ! All of the power management from bios is on dissable. Dont know what to do but shutting the power button from the back all the time.
Any suggestion will be gladly apreciate.

Something is wired wrong and you should seek professional help.
However, in the mean time there should be a switch on the back of the computer, located near your Power Supply. Just switch it off after you have shut down the computer. It's there to cut power to the Power Supply and as the Power Supply supplies the MB it should shut off the fans.
Even with the computer shut down there is still power going to the Power Supply unless the switch is off.

Thanks Fredf, That what I've been doing to shut them off. I thought it was something electrical but they do off if I put the system on Standby, that's why I thing it is something in windows or the bios setting but where I dunno !
