K8N NEO4 PLATINUM WONT TURN OFF WHEN SHUTDOWN

Hello,
I recently built a system for my friend and he wanted the following setup. Everything works good, but when he selects Windows to shutdown, the OS goes through regular procedures, then the screen fades to black. However, the fans keep running and the PSU is still live..... so it seems the system isnt shutting down 100%. I have seen this issue before, but dont remember how to fix it. Something to do with the registry or within the system, alas, i cannot remember. please assist.

2 x Hitachi 80GB Sata II drives in a Raid 0

Have you tried searching at all? What BIOS version u using? I'd recommend flashing the latest.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum power on/off problem

    Hi all.
    I just got a K8N Neo4 Platinum, and have a problem with switching it on and off.
    When I switch on the mains to the PC PS(before turning the PC on), the fans start turning, and I hear disks spinning up. The PC power LED is off, but the HD LED is on. There is no picture on the monitor.
    If I then switch the PC on, it boots normal, power LED is on, and the HD LED is normal. The PC is working absolutely normal, with winXP.
    But when I turn the PC off again, the fans remain on, power LED goes off, HD LED on. And I can't switch the PC on again, till I have toggled the mains supply.
    I have tried measuring what comes on the power connector. It looks like there is still 12V when the PC is supposed to be switched off. Don't know if that is right.
    There is also 5VSB and PWR OK, but I think they are supposed to be there.
    I hope I have been able to explain the problem in understandable english.

    That the comp turn itself on when the different front side connectors etc isnt in, i dont think that's a problem with ur PSU.
    Same thing happend to me when i forgot to plug them in a couple of days ago. I got a Tagan 480W, and its flawless!
    Have u ever considered unplugging everything, and doing it from the beginning? ......
    I have tried from the beginning many times, but it's always failing.
    BUT..... Today I got a new K8N Neo4 Platinum from a vendor next door to where I work, and it works perfectly 
    I had a suspicion that the motherboard was causing the fail, but couldn't be sure without trying a new one. Now the first one is going back to the shop where I bought it.
    Thanks to all for all the suggestions you have come up with.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum Wont POST please help!!

    ok, i built this pc about a month ago. everything has worked perfectly until yesterday. When i turn the power on, al i get is the Platinum Screen. I cant go into Bios, i cant Post.. The PC beeps once like normal, and the LED on the Motherboard and the videocard come on. Ive tried wiping the CMOS, Tried a different PSU, tried removing one of the memory sticks. I tried just connecting the Mobo, video card and harddrive, to see if it want getting enough power. Heres what ive got:
    K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI
    Athlon 64 3500+
    Geforce 6800 Gt
    1 Gig corsair 3200 ram (2x512mb)
    550 watt PSU

    reset the bios, make sure its RESET.
    then, try with just 1 stick ram first.
    remember, to run dual for this board, it has to be Slot 1  &  Slot 2. 
    If u follow the color, it'll be single channel instead.
    Read also the instruction, it says never plug into 2nd or 4th slot with 1 stick ram.
    Try with 1 stick ram. if it boots, then insert the 2nd into Slot 2.  for dual channel.
    i had similar prob few days back when newly purchased.
    good luck !

  • MY K8N NEO4 Platinum wont load windows

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum Bug: Automatic restart after shutdown ?!

    Hi,
    I have the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Motherboard, PCB 1, MS-7125, the latest BIOS (1.D).
    I have cleared my CMOS, etc.
    The problem is that after a shutdown in WinXP (SP2) the PC restarts after a few seconds. 
    When disabling the IOAPIC in the BIOS WinXP doesn't start anymore. Setting the MPS Table Version from 1.4 to 1.1 doesn't help.
    There are no WakeUp options enabled.
    What's wrong with that ?
    greets
      Ingo

    Check out this message.. and also the link in it, aparently this is not a uncommon issue (and it has nothing to do with Wake on features in the BIOS at times) it is a registry setting in windows of all things!?! my system does this (but it is fubared in other ways ATM) but i plan on fixing this once i get my system back in working order.

  • HT201412 my ipod touch is stuck on a app and wont turn off when i hold the home and lock button

    I tried to open an app on my ipod touch but it has just got a white screen , is been like this for a while. I have tried holding down the home button and lock button for 10 seconds but nothing happens, i have tried plugging it in and nothing happens and it wont turn off either..... pllease help me 

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod screen wont turn off when recharging

    I have an 80Gig Ipod Video.
    Right now I am charging it via USB on my computer and the screen does not turn off.
    Is there something wrong with the Ipod?
    Can someone help me?
    Ive read the other threads about holding down the Menu and select button and have rebooted it several times
    As well and jostling the hold button on and off.
    Isnt the backlight supposed to turn off the screen while recharging?
    thanks for the help.

    The screen stays lit up so you can see what your ipod is doing while its plugged in. IE: OK TO DISCONNECT, or SYNC IN PROGRESS/EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING
    If you see the OK to disconnect text try closing itunes completely, this will let your ipod know its not in use.

  • Droid Razr Maxx HD wont turn off when charging....

    I have been using Droids since they have come out and very familiar with them. I recently (three days ago) upgraded to the Razr Maxx HD and went to plug it in to charge (i already powered down) and when I plug it in to charge, the phone comes back on. I shut it off, while plugged in, and it power off and then turns right back on again. I have tried all combinations and can't get it to STAY OFF while i'm charging. Suggestions?

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum Will not boot when SP2 is installed

    I installed everything on my pc. Used MSI live update to get everything up to date. I then realized that I didn't do any windows updates (was up to SP1) When I put sp2 on the pc bluescreens after the windows splash screen. I can bring up in safe , vga , and network enabled modes. I didn't install sp2 on the old bios so I don't know if it is a bios issue. Has anyone else had this problem? I need to put sp2 on eventually...... I was thinking that it might be a vga problem but I don't have another PCIX board to swap.

    If you have another computer with a CD burner you can slipstream your copy of XP with SP2 (just google XP SP2 slipstream). Then you can just do a windows repair. If you can't I would suggest doing a windows repair anyways but right after you get into windows install SP2.
    To me it sounds like a driver conflict. If neither works, you may have to format. Again when you do install windows then immediatly install SP2, then drivers and so forth.
    Good Luck

  • My screen wont turn off

    I got my ipod nano at xmas and its been perfectly fine until now. I always have the hold button when its turned off so it accidently doesnt turn back on. I put my ipod into the usb port and usually the itunes come up but it didnt all i got was my screen stuck as if its frozen and it still has the little lock symbol even when the button is off lock. The battery is really low and i dont know what to do.... PLEASE HELP!

    i've had a similar problem,had my nano since september and its been fine but it wont turn off when you hold down play/pause. no matter how long you hold it down. also, usually when you unplug the headphones it automatically changes pauses then eventually switches off, it doesnt do that either. i had a problem like this with my mark 2 ipod and just hope it doesnt go the same way as that!

  • New K8N NEO4 Platinum (non SLi) wont leave boot screen???

    I just went out and purchased:
    AMD Athlon 3000+
    K8N NEO4 Platinum
    Some standard case with a 450w power suply
    On the +12v it says I have 18a
    And Im using some things from my old PC:
    (PCI) ATI Radeon 9200se (CrapTastic!)
    Maxtor 40Gig (not Sata)
    1x Samsung  PC2700 DDR 512mb RAM
    This is my first PC build and I ran into a couple of problems:
    I have tried 3 different PS/2 keyboards(2 older and 1 newer) and none of them work. It shows the Platinum screen and then goes to a different screen that says "Keyboard error or not plugged in"
    So I try my USB keyboard that I got about a year ago and the lights flash on the kb when I first start up but.....once I get to the Platinum screen the keyboard becomes unresponsive and I cant move off the Platinum Screen into BIOS or anything.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Well I went out and purchased a USB to PS/2 adapter and plugged it in with the USB keyboard that would light up but still not work and......................... STILL DID NOT WORK!

    Grimster i agree totaly with jeanguy, you need around 25-30amps min on these boards, so try a mates psu.
    Do I really need more than 18a with my system? How much money (ballpark) in US dollars do you think a adequate PSU for my rig would cost???
    I am really thinking of just takeing it back and getting it replaced with the same mobo and see if that works.

    Hi kingminjing,
    Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
    Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.
    Cheers,
