But none of these work yet. 😞

Hi,

I am having the same problem with my Asus Formula VIII
Shutdown issue: Windows 10 does trigger the shutdown process, the monitor goes black but fans won't turn off (not normal) and MB LED's stay powered on (that is normal)
No complete system shutdown MB. have to shut the PSU down manualy for complete shutdown.

I know it is not an PSU issue because it worked perfect on my older MB.

Is this a Hardware failure of the Asus MB?
The "funny" thing is, sometimes the pc does shutdown correctly, but it does that very rarely and i do not know the conditions why it does that.
I looked at every setting in the BIOS and could not find anything.
I even did a complete BIOS flash yesterday, but to no avail.

Please advise. I can find a lot of people with this problem. But i still have to find (read) the solution.
According to the ROG forum this is a known issue?? any Solution?

could this be a hardware problem of the MB and if so would a new MB be the solution?

I got this reply from Asus:
You must be kidding: they are already off (default settings are OFF)
anyone want to comment on this?

Dear mr. Piot,

Thank you for your email.

Go into the BIOS by tapping the Delete key right after you power on the system.
Under de Advanced tab go to APM Configuration and turn off ErP Ready and turn off all the Power On options.

If this does not solve the problem I suggest you test this with a different PSU.
Some power supplies have power saving options making it possible that non supported mainboard do not fully shut down.

I hope to have informed you enough.
Ik hoop u hierbij voldoende te hebben geinformeerd.

Kind regards,
Vriendelijke groet,

Asus TSD.

I am running on standard BIOS default settings (No OC / or XMP profile).
PC is stable, but it will not shut down correctly (fans keep spinning).

Windows 10 is a clean install, so it should at least do a proper shutdown.

This is not my first build, but it is the first time that i encountered this problem.
