PC wont power down.

[Kyrne]

Okay, random problem here whenever i 'restart' or 'shutdown' my PC it does all the processes of shutting down but then it just leaves my PC on. Only way to shut it down is to hold the power button in for 4 seconds or flick the switch at the back. I've googled the problem and it seems a hand full of people have this problem, but there all blaming it on different things, one of them been Nvidia drivers which it seems is right! If i uninstall them it restarts and shutsdown fine, yet when i reinstall the problems back. Now do i just wait it out and see if new drivers fix the problem or does anyone know something i dont!

Vista 32
E6600 - 3Ghz
BFG 8800GTX
ASUS Striker

If it is the Nvidia drivers thats causing the problem, i guess you could try a diffrent set of drivers, an earlier version maybe?

it seems to be a simple solution of newest gpu and chipset drivers if your on a 680i board all available from nvidia.com

Forgot to add I've tried that also, going to give these BETA drivers ago now like see what happens.

EDIT

Hmm chipset drivers? never updated them

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf680iSLI_winVista_15.01.html

Would that be the right one?

Updated everything now, BIOS, chipsets, graphics drivers, everything. Still no luck only time it works is when there no graphics drivers installed :\
