I have installed an Asus P8B75-MLE mother board with Windows 7 as the operating system. When I try to shut down the computer, the computer will go through shutdown. The video will shut off but the computer does not shut off completely. The fans and lights stay on. If I hold the power button 4 seconds, the system will shut off. Thanks for you help.
Hit control alt delete and look and see how many running programs you, most of the time it is a background running program that locks up the shut down process. On average you should have only 60 to 70 programs running. Reduce these and your start ups and shut downs will be much quicker, there are third party software that can enable you to do this with ease, or you can search google .

Repaired computer myself. Removed CMOS battery to reset BIOS, waited 2-3 minutes, replaced battery, rebooted and shut down. The computer shuts down correctly.
