Cannot Stand By or Shut Down

I have a self built PC with AMD dual core 2000+ with 2 GB RAM and Win XP Pro 64 bit.

It has been working fine for last 6 months but all of the sudden I cannot shut down or put it to stand by mode. During shut down sequence, it never gets shut down and gets hung up in the "shut down screen". When I do stand by, monitor goes black but PC still running and it never comes out of stand by leaving me to do a hard reboot.

I got tiered so so reinstalled the OS and all latest drivers but I still have the issue. So it makes me think that issue is with some hardware possibly with PS unit.

FYI the PS unit is a cheap $10 ebay items but I am not sure what else could be causing this issue.

Thanks in advance!
 
can try resetting your BIOS to default settings

my PC has issues waking up from standby but no problem shutting down
