Do you use the latest bios ? > if not update your bios may be some bios option wrong ? > restore default settings for the board may be also some old driver or material that causes problem with apm / acpi ...
Specific to ASUS boards I had the same problem, found the answer in the ASUS forums. Check the properties of your 1394 adapter, under Power Management make sure the checkbox to "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is enabled.
I have this adapter but i dont have this option "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in properties tab. any solution?
Sometimes if wrong settings are placed in bios , like ACPI disabled while installing windows, it may not install some ACPI functions correctly and in some cases you need to reinstall the system with ACPI enabled in bios... Make a fresh install with bios defaults settings ...thus with ACPI enabled install a working graphic driver if windows have not installed this already. Connect a min of internal / external devices , just a basic mouse and keyboard , graphic card and verify if computer will shut down , sleep and wake up correctly ... then try to connect more devices, install their drivers and test on each new install ... I have a computer here with a P5K-WS , there is none problem with this type of card and win 7 ... All onboard hardware is detected and working fine with basic windows drivers ... Finally you can also have hardware problems with your power supply if it's old of too bad quality or simply it's a defective motherboard... good luck for testing ...
Yes. I thinks this is a problem with x64 windows 7 and ASUS mb with firewire, but my motherboard dont have firewire port, by the way i have a pci card with firewire. i cant hold power button forever!!!
Hi, I had similar problem with gigabyte motherboard. Turned out to be the m-audio sound card. Do you use on board sound or add in card? thanks
I have the same problem with my Acer Aspire 4736. It took me more than 2 minutes just to shutdown and sometimes it reach 10minutes! Could this be a bug in windows 7? Any suggestion guys for me and cst and others with similiar problems.
its a driver issue or a BIOS issue. It is a problem with the OEMs hardware, try installing the intel chipset drivers (if Intel chipset) with the -overall switch.
Hi all, i have same issue, but with Gigabyte MB. I turn off W7, but the fans and supply keeps running. CST, have you solved your problem? Thanks
