I am working on a computer with the above MB and OS. The system will down completely shutdown or restart.
It goes all the way through the shutdown process except when it attempts to
turn off the power supply, it doesn't.. Monitor goes black but not off and
fans continue to run, power supply stays on. If I boot into safe mode, it
will power down or restart just fine. I have disabled every possible service
or program in MSCONFIG no help. I have scanned for virus's but nothing. I
have updated every driver. I have tried a different power supply.
Why does it work right in safe mode but not normal mode?
