Excessively long shut-down times

Scrap that. The reboot was instant. How very odd... That was with the overclock applied.

well it's definitely not something going through event viewer, in windows eyes it shutdown in ~5 seconds.

so all scenarios are:

Overclocked normal - slow shutdown
Overclocked safe mode - fast shutdown
Stock normal - fast shutdown
Stock safe mode - fast shutdown

is this right? what's your current drive configuration, any RAID setup, how many HDDs, all SATA and using AHCI?

What was different this time sorry, thread's getting hard to read!

Ha I know! Nothing.

After I re-applied the overclock (from when I took it off before to test) and then rebooted, it was fine.

Correct.

I have SSD as my boot drive and then two mechanical hard drives (2TB & 640GB) as a programs/storage drive respectively. AHCI in BIOS.

Very strange, was the overclock re-applied identically, i.e. from a profile? or did you manually reapply it?

I manually did mine, nothing sophisticated though I just disabled turbo, set the multiplier to 42, and the voltage to 1.2v.

To take the overclock off I just changed the multiplier to x33 and left vcore and LLC as they were. Then to re-apply I changed it back to x45. Manually.

I'll keep an eye on it but it seems to be resolved now for me. Shutting down took about 10 seconds last night.

Wow, very strange indeed! I'll have a think and see of anything springs to mind, post back if it happens again though. Glad it's resolved now

Indeed - thanks.

I'll post in here Gigabyte's response if it's useful. As even I can't replicate it now, I'm not expecting much from them. Not their fault to be fair!

Just a quick update, I sent my Board back to OcUK last week for them to test and it has been sent back to gigabyte for repair / replacement. So hopefully I should get it back soon.
