PC won't shut down when using GPU output.[SOLVED]

[Crymn]

So my PC won't shut down when my monitor cable is plugged in to my GPU.

If I plug the cable into my mobo it shuts down just fine.

But as soon as it's plugged into my GPU (even if I switch from mobo to GPU after boot) my PC will turn off, but all my LED's will stay on, no fans spinning, keyboard not lit, pressing the power button does nothing, no video signal... nothing.

The only thing I can do I flip the switch on my PSU or hold the power button, then everything turns off.

I'm in the windows insider program so I thought it might have been a windows thing, but I rolled back to the previous version and nothing changed.

I removed my GPU drivers with DDU, nothing. Installed them again, also nothing.

Removed afterburner, GPU Tweak II, RivaTuner, Geforce experience, nothing.

I also don't remember something special (like driver or windows update) happening when this issue showed up.

I hoped you guys might have clue about what it could be.

 

Specs:

GPU - Asus strix GTX 1080

CPU - I7 7700K OC'd to 5 GHz

Mobo - Asus strix Z270F 

RAM - 16GB DDR4 2666 MHz

what kind of GPU you are using? please tell me full specification of PC.

That sounds normal that the LEDs stay lit when the PC is powered down. I could be wrong, but if I'm not. Then it must be a setting on your motherboard you should be able to change in the BIOS.

I edited the post, specs are there now.

well, maybe try to remove cell on a motherboard, these will be reset on bios.

It is a setting, and I have it turned off. The main problem is, is that I also can't turn my PC back on again without flipping the switch on my PSU. I also have LED's on my mobo which turn of when the cable is plugged into my mobo and turn the system off, but when using the GPU they stay on. So after shutdown it just looks like my pc is on without doing anything.

I had that issue but with AMD not Nvidia... in my case it was the drivers i used, switching to older ones fixed it. Oh one more thing that can cause this issue on some configs is the way MS implemented a state of hibernation more so then a proper shut down try shutting it down while holding the shift key when pressing the shutdown button with the cursor.

 

 

Tried an older GPU driver, shutting down while holding shift and shutting down using cmd. Nothing worked, but thanks tho

Clearing BIOS didn't help

Did you try to re-position the graphics card in the PCI-E slot ? (Well also cleaning it a bit before putting it back in).

Yes I did, didn't help.

You probably did this, but just in case, did you try removing the IGPU drivers and disabling it afterwards in bios ? I wont lie at this point i'm just grasping at straws, the only other thing i can think of is that something went haywire in windows and is causing this and trying a windows reinstall. I hope it isn't a hardware issue like the GPU or mobo...

I tried it, and as expected it didn't work. I'm gonna wait this one out and see if a new windows update fixes it, otherwise clean install it is. As you said also really hoping it isn't a hardware issue. Thanks for your help.

what is your windows 10 version?

Update:

After messing around a bit more, trying different windows versions and resetting the BIOS multiple times, the problem fixed itself. Thanks for all your help.
