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

[.Blaze]

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:

Yeah according to the page for my mobo it says so

P8Z68-V-GEN3 BIOS 3201

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?

Okay so I updated the intel RST driver and it now shuts down. I really wish I'd tried that first lol
