Z87-G41 Won't restart-must turn off power

I just setup the Z87-G41 with all new components. The board will not restart or reboot when software initiates the process. My reset button either does not work (I've switched the orientation of the connector on the MB pins to no effect) or there's a problem with the board. To get the system to reboot I have to hold down the power button for about 5 seconds.
Could this be a BIOS problem? Not sure which BIOS I have--probably 1.0. Will flashing to 1.6 or higher solve this problem?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Here's the hardware:
CPU: i7 4790K; 16 GB Hyper-X DDR3 RAM; Gigabyte Geforce 750 Ti video; Samsung 840 Pro SSD for boot disk; WD Black 1TB for storage; LG 24X DVD R/RW; XFX XRT 650 W power supply; Dual LG 22" monitors

I think I have fixed the problem. I downloaded BIOS V 1.8 and flashed it using M-Flash and now the computer reboots and restarts normally. I suspect the BIOS Version 1.5 was not routing interrupts correctly. Ctrl-Alt-Delete did absolutely nothing (outside of windows). Now, (knock on wood), looks like a normal system.

Won't restart-must turn off power [SPLIT]

I am having the exact same problem with a new build. The board came with bios 1.5 and software ( win7 ultimate 32 bit) would shut it down, but restarts would not work ( which made any upgrade extremely difficult when it said " your computer needs to restart).
When this was selected the screen would lose signal, but the fans would keep spinning and no matter how long I waited nothing. I had to push the power button to turn it off, then push it again to restart it.
So I flashed the bios to 1.8 this morning ( which went off without a hitch) but I'm still getting the same problems, shut down in windows works, restart in windows ( either from the start menus or from a popup saying you have to restart, the pc loses signals but never turns off and reboots. when I select shut down the pc has a sound " ping" right before the fans shut off, in restart no sound, screen loses signal, the fans just keep spinning ( cpu fans and case fans)
here are my specs
Main Board: Z87-G41 PC mate
Bios Version: 1.8 ( as of this morning)
Video Card: none ( using integrated for now, will likely add one later)
PSU: ultra ULT-LSP550 (550V)
12v rail Rating of listed PSU: 41A 492W
CPU: intel G3258 ( unlocked anniversary dual core pentium)
Memory: 4 GB Adata 1600
SSD/ HDD: boot drive kingston 64 GB SSD/ waiting to install data drive ( seagate 500gb)
CPU COOLER: intel stock
Raid Card: none
Sound Card: integrated hd audio
Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: none
OC: (Yes / No) no, running at 3.2
Operating System: windows 7 ultimate 32 bit, activated by MS
if anyone has any suggestions I would really really appreciate it.

I think Im toast. When I power up with bios under settings the boot drive ( kingston 64 gb ssd) is not showing up on the sata port. I
turned it off, unplugged let it sit a minute then shorted the cmos pins. waited a minute of two, then plugged in. the next bios I choose F1 and setup. it now recognizes the drive on sata 2 and identifies it. I move the hard drive ( non uefi) to the start of the boot order. I have a bootable usb disk with the os on it and I put that second. Everything else seems to be good in terms of the other system identification. so i hit f10 for save and exit. on the popup it says save and restart ? I click yes, it exits the bios but it never restarts. so I push the power button down to turn it off, push it again to restart and then hit delete to get into bios and the hard drive is not recognized as a kingston ssd and in the preverences sata 2 is shown as empty.
Im sorry if this is not as detailed as it should be, its been a while since I have tried to build a pc.

IMac won't restart, or turn off

I have been having issues with my iMac recently, and it seems to have happened for no apparent reason. Anytime I try to restart or shutdown, my iMac does not do this. It instead sits at a screen containing my Desktop background, and the shadow of where my menu bar was. It has been happening ever since I installed Quicktime 7.2 and iTunes 7.3.1. I am also running at all times iClip, Skitch beta, iStat menus, Google Desktop, and Cover Sutra.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try disconnecting all USB devices except your Apple Keyboard and Mouse and try again.

Installer stopped at 95% and won't let me force quit, restart or turn off the computer

The flash player install manager stopped at 95% on my Mac and has been like that for a couple of days now. I can't end the installer, I can't even force quit. The installer doesn't allow me to restart or turn off the computer, because it's "still installing".
How can I solve this problem? Please help me!

Hello,
Did you tried Flash Player 11.2, Flash Player Archived : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Use Flash Player uinstaller (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html) to clean any instance for Flash Player.

Upgraded to ios 7, now password not working. Can't restore my ipad because I must turn off Find My iPhone, but I can't because I'm locked out. HELP!!

I recently updated my iPad mini to ios 7, which made me put a password for my lock screen. Now, it won't accept my password, and I'm unable to restore using iTunes because it says I must turn off Find My iPhone feature. However, I can't turn off this feature if I can't unlock my iPad. Please, someone tell me how to reset this or bypass the lock screen on an iPad. Thanks!

Ipad won't charge unless turned off

My iPad 2 won't charge unless turned off and in some cases not at all. It does this off and on. Typically, it'll stop charging when turned on and I can turn it off and charge it to over 40% (or so. . . .it varies) and then it will charge the rest of the way while turned on. And then, I can go through long periods --maybe a month-- where it will charge as usual (while on) but then suddenly it will stop charging while on and will only do so when off. This back and forth has gone on for several months. Today it stopped charging even when off. Given history, it might kick in and start charging suddenly but I fear that the battery could run out this time and I'll not be able to charge and restart it. I'm at 20%. I am using the iPad 10W charger and I have a new one so the cord is good and it works to charge my iPhone as well. I have also tried rebooting the system, holding down the home and start button. Anyone have experience with this and a solution?

you can also try the universal troubleshooting step of resetting your iPad. No data is lost so don't worry.
You can reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

Press and hold the "Top button" and the Home button together for 15 seconds. This will force iPhone to reboot.

Hello everyone...I got my very first macbook pro just today and i have a problem deleting the "test" user account. if i can't delete it, the system won't let me turn off the system. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!

Have you created another admin user? Go to system preferences click users and click the + to add a user; if you haven't already. Once you have another admin user other then the "test" user make sure you're signed out of the test user account. Sign in with the alternate ADMIN USER that you just created or had created already and go back to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and click the same USERS icon near the bottom. Now select the TEST user and click the - sign. This should prompt you if your sure you want to delete the user account. And your done.
New User created and Test User deleted... I hope this helps.

I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be?

I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be? I have to recharge 3 times per day

I heard from an apple specilist once that it is good to let your iPhone die atleast once a month. My iPhone 5 battery lasts all day if I charge it before I go to bed. Try not using your iPhone when it is charging. If you don't notice a difference soon, consult with the apple store

My iphone is disabled.Followed the steps in itunes after connecting to my computer but getting a message saying that i must turn off 'find my iphone'' on my device before i can restore it.Impossible for me to do that because i obviously have no access to my device.Can anyone help me with this problem please?

I think you should call via phone or perhaps take it to a phone store. I suggest taking your id, box packaging and other necessities such as the reciept of the phone being purchased.
Hope this helped

Touble restarting and turning off my M70

I cannot restart or turn off my computer unless i turn off the front switch that handles my wireless and bluetooth. Please help!

Hi
The control driver has nothing to do with the Bluetooth and WiFi hard switch.
The fact is that if you will recover the unit with the delivered Toshiba recovery CD you dont need to install any additional drivers because all tools, divers and utilities are preinstalled on the Toshiba image which is placed on the recovery CD.
In my opinion this is the easiest way to check if its a software or hardware problem.
