PC won't fully shut down - fans still run afterwards


Recommended Posts

So I updated the BIOS to 3201 from 0301 on Asus P8Z68-V/GEN 3 and now it seems when I go to shut down the computer, it does so, but the fans still continue to run. Only if I manually turn it off do they stop. Worked perfectly fine before (I know, what are the chances). However, if you go to restart, there is no problem there.

A load of ACPI drivers popped up as well after the install

so I am wondering what I can/should do.

System specs if needed -

Intel Core i5-2500k (@ Stock) - Corsair H60 - ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 - 8GB Exceleram White Sark Series - Corsair M4 64gb (System), Western Digital 320gb (Documents & Applications) & Samsung 1tb (Media) - NVIDIA Geforce 210 - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit - OCZ ZT 750w

are you sure you flashed the right bios?

the version number change seems a bit weird.

did you download the bios from asus and then flash it in the bios?

last weekend i worked on a friends pc with an asus board and downloaded the bios from asus.com but didn't flash manually because it had the same weird version change in the name.

i loaded up asusupdate and it told me the bios was not for his board. it will tell you the exact model number of your board and what board the bios you're trying to flash is for.

even though his board was the model on asus.com it seems they had slightly different versions of it. finally found the right version on their website and updated with asusupdate no problem.

i've also noticed a difference on what shows up when searching on asus.com or usa.asus.com

just some thoughts.

can you flash to the previous BIOS version ? The one you were using ? Why did you have to update the BIOS anyway ?

If you dont have some weird power setting in BIOS like S3 or something - then I would use grab another BIOS version... doesnt your board have some kind of screwed-up BIOS flash fix ? I think my ASUS does :wacko:

It seems it's a bit risky to try and flash a downgrade. I upgraded because I figured it might as well improve or be good in case I do upgrade soon. Which obviously, in hindsight, probably wasn't the best move in the world

hopefully i'm wrong but i think you got the wrong bios for your mobo.

an upgraded bios from 3102 should be something like 3103 or 4102.

what were the previous versions listed on the download page where you got the bios from?

did it list 3102?

yeah - listed here - http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P8Z68-V/GEN3&p=1&s=39&os=30&hashedid=lUiebGYgCR9OAc31 (if the link works)

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
