Messerschmitt Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) I am running XPE66002Gb Corsair 800mhzXFX 8600 GTS ExtremeMobo: Gigabyte P35 DS3RWhen I shut down the fans, PSU, CPU Fan, Fan LEDs are still running, so the power just won't cut off.Before this, I had the "windows is shutting down" mesasge freeze as well on shutdown but it got away after I installed XFX video card drivers.Another thing that I am afraid is that this might actualy be hardware? I mean I went to q-flash, and I used the F10 for shutdown in bios. When I do that, it shuts itself down but in 1-2 seconds it starts all up by itself.Even tryed this: immidiately after it shuts down after I press F10 I shut down the PSU from the back button (from I to O), and amaizingly it STARTS UP for a very brief second then it shuts down.Is this PSU problem?

ripken204 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 so did this start happening when it froze or has it been going on for a long time? in your BIOS do you have any autostart options on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonestonne Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 if you're getting a screen like "You can now shut off your computer" or something like that, then just push the power button, and it should all turn of, no problem. many older computers were like this, such as Compaqs, and my old server is exactly the same.

Messerschmitt Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 I had the windows shut down image freeze all the time since I assembled this rig and I had both windows XP SP1, SP2 and SP2 x64.But I no longer have the freeze after I installed the video card drivers.However now, windows shuts down but the comuputer will not power off. In bios there is no autostart option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messerschmitt Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) I rekon I only installed the chipset which came with the CD, so I will try update it with the newer one in the gigabyte site.And I don't get such a message. Windows effectevely shuts down, monitor turns off but the computer still runs power. Ethernet onboard LED is off as well, but fan LED, and fans/PSU fan are still running. No idea what else might still be active.I found on internet about "Right click my computer - Properties- Hardware- Device Manager, Click View at the top and click show hidden devices, Double click NT Amp/Legacy support it should have a red cross on it , Enable it and your pc should now shut down properly"http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum...t-turn-off.htmlBut I do not have anything such as NT AMP.Update: I have tried hibernate. It does the same thing it does when you shut it down in bios by pressing F10 when you are in Q-Flash. It starts hibernating, it shuts down, (Fans, LED's, etc) but in 1-2 seconds it starts up by itself again Edited July 23, 2007 by Messerschmitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) just wondering, what happens when you press the power button to start it up again?also try updating your BIOS. it sounds like windows isnt communicating with the BIOS correctly.do the fans ever turn off, after an hr or anything?

Messerschmitt Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 When I press the power button it starts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonestonne Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 SP2 removed a lot, i dunno if it'll show the shutdown messege.it has to do with ACPI unless i'm mistaken, you can't disable it. to turn off the computer, you need to push the power button...nothing you can do about it.

Messerschmitt Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 But changing the power supply will fix it? Or this has something to do with the mobo? Why is it automaticaly start up after you close it with hibernation, or F10 in bios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kooler Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 i had the same problem with vista doing that... but it turned up being the crappy nvidia graphic drivers... on about 11 different systems after the first install and then it was raid drivers on 3 of the the intel boards i put in... finally got got some updated drivers a month later and was able to sell the rigs but i know your dealing with a different os so i wish you luck.... cause anything could cause that problem , mb , memory , psu... i even had a dvd burn trying to hang at shutdown and cause the weird problemgood luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Check under device manager, under the "Computer" tree to see what HAL is installed. It should say something like "ACPI Multiprocessor PC".Check to see in BIOS if there are any auto-start or power resume modes. For example, I can set my computers to return to their previous power state in the event of a power loss. If the power goes out while I'm using the computer, it will automatically start up again when the power returns. Try looking for that option in BIOS.Alternatively, for your sake and everyone else's, try clearing the BIOS completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonestonne Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 if it wont stay off after you turn it off, make sure Wake On LAN is disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messerschmitt Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi,I don't have a Wake on LAN in BIOS.Also I don't have any autostart or resume modes.Actualy all I have in BIOS is ACPI Suspend type which I can choose between S3(STR) and S1(POS), I tried both, no difference.USB device wake-up, which I dissembled,PME Event Wake up which I dissembledPower on by Ring which I dissembledResume by alarm which I dissembledHPET support which is dissembledPower on by mouse/keyboard which is dissembled.In windows under Computer tree, only thing there is ACPI Multiprocessor PC.

jcarle Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Make sure that you install the latest intel chipset drivers. APM and ACPI functions are controlled through system drivers which are installed as part of the chipset drivers. Make sure that APM or ACPI is enabled in the BIOS as well as making sure that it's enabled in the Power Management section of the Windows control panel.
