Hello,

 

I have some weird issues with my PC, I believe it's the motherboard as it's where the stuff happens.

 

So I get this issue after a shutdown or putting the PC to sleep.

 

PC turns "off" but the fans does not stop spinning and the light stay on (I have full watercooling so I don't know if the GPU is on as there are no lights). if I press a key on the keyboard the lights flicker on it in a constant speed as if there was a rave party. same goes for the mouse.

 

Now as it says like this for infinite I'm forced to press the powerbutton, which turns everything off, except that the mobo lights still stay on AND they still follow the saved light profile. I then flick the PSU switch to kill it.

 

What is going on here? (I really don't want to send a Support case to Gigabyte as that's worst customer service I have ever experienced in my whole life and I'm not buying their stuff after this.)

have a AIO and the system continues to spin for a while before shutting down. it spins longer than it used to when i had the stock heatsink. mobo-light allways have a "breathe" mode on mine and doesnt change. never experienced that it has continued to run longer than 1 minute or something after shutdown. (i havent timed it). AAre you shure it doesnt shut down eventually, but it takes a while to do so?

I am not sure but if this was my computer I'd first try a different OS. Maybe try booting a Ubuntu live disc and shutdown from that and see if it has the same issue. If it shuts down fine it might be some weird OS issue. After that, I'd try removing as much stuff as possible from the computer and just boot from a Ubuntu live disc so you only have motherboard, CPU, minimal ram and if no on board graphics the GPU. If that doesn't resolve it, try swapping out parts until you isolate the offending component. And don't forget to try a different PSU, sometimes they cause weird as hell problems, like maybe its refusing to power down.

 

This is how I'd try figure out what is wrong but I've never seen an issue like it before. :(

It never quits, it stays like this for a minute after I turn off the PSU.

Rather not take a part, it's not that big of a deal that I want to rebuild the waterloop
