System Slow Shutdown Problems

Go to solution Solved by haurshanked,

If you have the rampage IV black, your board has two bios chips out of the box.  Check your manual for the Bios Switch button and how to use it.  Try setting the same overclock settings on the other bios chip to see if the problem persists.  

For your overclock, what is your load line calibration set to, and what is your CPU current capability set to?

 

i did some testing and found out that its the windows fast startup causing all the trouble. i disabled windows fast startup and it shut down just fine.

 

now im working on how to solve this problem instead of simply avoiding it, feel free to share some insight ;)

Recently i ran into a very weird problem with my pc. When shut my PC down, my monitors will show the shutting down screen immediately then goes black (i assume that windows has been shut down), but the system (gpu,cpu,fans,psu,etc) is still on, and will stay on for about 30 seconds before it completely shuts off.

 

to make this problem weirder, restarts are normal, very fast just like before, but shut down is not.

 

I tried to solve this problem by flashing BIOS to the latest version, drained psu power, unplugged everything then replugged, the problem persists.

 

Any ideas on how to fix this problem? thanks guys!

I think it could be a BIOS setting. It is just there to cool the PC down before fully shutting down. Or it could be your GPU, some of them have a dust removing feature, it spins the fans in the opposite direction for a short while to remove dust (duh).

EDIT: Just noticed that it was all the fans, GPU's don't decide what system fans do.

What are your OC settings?  (Which parameters did you change)

So your startup is completely normal?  If there is no "Windows did not shut down properly" then the shutdown was completely normal (from the perspective of Windows).  This implies that it's a hardware issue.  

 

Have you tried switching to the other bios chip to see if the problem persists?

Overclock is fine I'm sure all I changed was the voltages, computer shutdown fine for months this problem just developed recently

No I haven't tried switching bios chips.... I don't have another :(

I'll try that once I get home.

As for the load line calibration and CPU capability is 500 and 120% respectively, I think. Again I have to check to make sure once I get home.

Thanks for the help! I'll get back to you in a few hours :)

i did some testing and found out that its the windows fast startup causing all the trouble. i disabled windows fast startup and it shut down just fine.

Odd how fast startup is affecting shut down... well this isn't something that I know how to fix, maybe someone else can help you  :)

I think you already solved it. If your PC is shutting down properly now then there is nothing wrong.

You cannot solve a problem with a ON/OFF switch, you can merely disable it and that is what you have done.

 

Fast-startup stores the data currently loaded into the RAM for extra fast loading, start-up programs and possibly some running apps are stored. The reason why you started noticing it later could have been caused by adding start-up programs or having programs running before shutdown. Now that the feature is disable these things should have no affect on shutting down, thus there is no need for further action on the issue.

 

Unless there still is a second issue that needs to be fixed I would say this thread is solved.
