Hi all,
I have this very annoying problem with my GA-Z68XP-UD4 it does this 95% of the time. When I shutdown in Windows 7 Pro 64bit the board does not shutdown completely. My case power LED will stay on, the CPU and case fans are running, the LEDs on the board is on, but my video card's fan is off and no signal is going to the monitor. The mouse and keyboards are off. The only way to shutdown completely from this state is to unplug the computer. Holding down the power button does nothing, reset does nothing. I don't think it is a software error since eventlog does not show any errors during shutdown.
The other problem i have with this is BIOS loop, when I boot up the computer it display the bios logo and it will reboot, and I get a blank screen after the 2nd reboot. To get around this I have to unplug the power, once again holding down the power button and reset button does not work. But the BIOS loop only happens 10% of the time, but still annoying, i've been using Gigabyte boards since 2000 and this is the 1st board that i have issues with.
here are my hardware specs
i7 2600k
GA-Z68XP-UD4 BIOS version F4 (this also happens on F3)
Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB) DDR3 1600
Corsair Professional Series HX750 750W
EVGA Superclocked GeForce GTX 570
WD Caviar Black 2 TB
I've spoken to Gigabyte tech and they blame it on software. This was a clean install and not a port from something else.
Any inputs would be helpful. Thanks.
