Crosshair V + reboot/shutdown hang ups

[Prolab]

So i got my CH5 a few days ago and i started with a clean install of Win 7 pro. Downloaded the recent drivers/BIOS (0404) from Asus website, installed SP1 and important updates and so far so good.

Ive been putting the rig to sleep so i never had to shut it down. But there was a few updates from Win 7 and required a restart. Went through the whole process and when you see the shutdown screen - it just stays there. I have to press the reset button to reset the computer.

So after the update has been patched and installed - for **** and giggles, i wanted to shutdown the computer. Same thing, it just hangs on the shutdown screen.

I have the power management on "performance". I believe i have the computer under UEFI on S1 shutdown (auto).

Is there anything else im missing? Not too familiar with UEFI.

System specs:

965 BE OC @ 3.8
8GB G Skill RAM F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
XFX 6950
XFX BE 850 PS
OCZ 60 & 120 GB SSD
(3) 2 TB WD Green Drive

Just to clarify, when you say that it freezes, how long did you wait? I've found that Windows will sometimes take a very long time to apply patches when shutting down. Not like all night but sometimes a good 5 minutes.

This is after the updates have been finish installing.

Although there are times where i can shut down/reset by logging off then -> shutdown/reset and it works.

It could be a corrupted update. Sometimes you just need to clear the update cache. Here's the article on how to do it:
