Hi, I only rebooted the PC when asked, after I was installing MoBo drivers or when Windows wanted to reboot after updates.
I just build it about 3 days ago, I installed a new Windows 7 so it told me it was outdated. It was on automatic update. Dont know how many updates it performed, But I remember seeing one time about 90 item needing update.
So it seem that the RAM is fine.
I guess it was a windows update that caused the issue cause before I changed the RAM timing it was also working just fine at the time of Shut down.
I will go see if I can buy a USB flash drive today.
Will do about 5 consecutive shutdowns later on and see if it stay running or not.

See that, just mentioning my name fixed the problem... 
I would love to know what actually happened.
Cloudbuster, do you reboot that PC a lot, or just let it run all the time and reboot when you must do so?
The problem started after a Windows Update of who knows how many updates, at least five, or do you know?
Who knows if the shutdown problem is cured, if it keeps working after five shutdown's, it should be fine.
About the BIOS update, I don't think a BIOS update will bring back the shutdown problem. You probably should do the BIOS update, use Instant Flash on a USB flash drive, the safest method. The new BIOS has some important changes (CPU microcode) and other good things added since 1.10. The first and early BIOS versions of any board usually are not very good, I flash to new versions all the time and never had a problem.
