Hey guys, 

Recently I've been having an issue with shutting down my pc, when I press the windows shut down button it shuts down the peripherals (including the monitors) but my tower stays on, the blue LED on my Define R5 stays lit and the fans act as if the pc restarted (by ramping up at first). 

These are my specs:

 
  • CPU
    Intel I7 5820K
  • Motherboard
    Asus X99-Deluxe
  • RAM
    2x4GB Crucial Ballistix sport
  • GPU
    Asus GTX 980 Strix
  • Case
    Fractal Design R5
  • Storage
    Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
  • PSU
    Cooler Master V1000
  • Display(s)
    Dell U2515H and Samsung Syncmaster P2050
  • Cooling
    Cooler Master 212 EVO
  • Keyboard
    Some wireless logitech keyboard
  • Mouse
    Logitech G502 Proteus Core
  • Sound
    Turtle Beach Earforce X42 headset + 5.1 Philips surround sound system
  • Operating System
    Windows 10 (64-bit)

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Tried turning it on and off again?

I'm sorry. That was cheap.

I am not saying this will fix it, but a really easy way to fix a lot of simple stuff is to clear your CMOS. It never hurts to try the simplest , easy stuff BEFORE the harder stuff even when it doesn't seem like it would help. There is always that case where it IS something simple and we try it last :).

this happened to me, my specs are similar to yours.

Turning it on and off again fixed it. It only seems to happen when I've force shutdown my computer previously.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

Spoiler

Desktop: X99-PC

CPU: i7 5820k

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.
