It's a feature of some PSUs to leave the fan running until they have
cooled down some after turning off the computer.

At that point, your system is shut down and the only thing it doesn't do
is turning itself off. That can be a software issue --- I never figured
out what kernel modules are needed for that.

You could start by looking at what's in syslog and dmesg and by checking
the loaded modules. You could boot from a live/installer DVD/CD and see
if the computer turns off when you shut it down to get an indication if
there is a software or a hardware problem. I don't know if the DVDs/CDs
actually turn the computer off, though, something to find out first.
