Hey guys,
This is my first build, and for it I chose the Z77 Extreme 4. Ever since I built it, I have had the strangest (and progressively more annoying) problem- the motherboard will not shut down the fans or lights when Widnows shuts down, and I must hold down the power button for about 10 seconds to manually shut it down. Additionally, the motherboard will not shut down when in hibernation or hybrid sleep mode, but it does turn off the keyboard and mouse, making it impossible to wake up the computer without doing a hard restart.
The weirdest part, though, is that when I reset windows the fans and lights DO automatically turn off for about a second before coming back on and restarting.
I am totally stumped. I am a little hesitant to go in myself and try to fix the problem, as I cant find many consistent answers online. As this if my first build, I am not totally comfortable making drastic changes without specific instructions on what to change, which is why I am here. Has anybody else encountered this problem and successfully fixed it? If so, how? Is there an official fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
