Hi, I have a TH7-II RAID motherboard which refuses to shut down via
software, forcing me to flip the power switch or pull the plug each time I
want to switch it off

I'm running XP Pro, but the same problem occurs with other OSs. I've also
tried two different cases, both with same results.

The computer also hangs when it enters standby mode - I have no way of
bringing it out of Standby. It also refuses to Hibernate.

Has anyone else had these problems?





There is an unfixed BIOS issue on the TH7-II RAID (at least with the
last available BIOS) that shows up with XP SP2 resulting in the MB
failing to auto shut down on exiting the OS. It auto shuts down fine
with XP SP1. However, the machine can still be readily shut down via
the case front-panel switch. The first problem you describe may be
just a faulty FP switch or a faulty connection from the front-panel
switch to the motherboard. The rest of the described problems might
result from either the BIOS problem that I described, or a corrupted
OS installation ( or both).
