When I shutdown my pc from Linux all the lights on my devices (mouse, keyboard) and on the back (network devices etc.) stay on. From Windows they all turn off.

Rep:
That's usually a symptom that APM or ACPI is not interacting with the kernel correctly. Check 'dmesg' after a boot to see if there are problems enabling either APM or ACPI (whichever your PC uses).
