Windows 7 not turning off after updates

Culinia · 20 May 2012 at 23:35

Clean install after installing some new hardware (GTX 670 SLI) after benching and testing all is well: my fresh windows installation n(w/SP1) does not turn off my pc, only turns off the monitor (sleep mode) and leaves all the fans running and lights.

Re-installed again, now shut down after installed all drivers: it worked i.e. fans and lights off.

After a 400MB or so session on Windows Update after shutting down, the problem persists, the computer fans and led's stay on, and I am having to force the computer to turn off with the power button held down.

Please help!!

You sure it wasn't applying the updates? It takes awhile to shutdown after installing updates. I be fair the monitor doesn't normally turn off until it is done so many not.

Yes I did the updates manually until it said there was no more updates available as opposed to the shutdown with the icon which installs the updates and then shut down.

That doesn't matter it will still start installing them when you select shutdown and finish the next time you start up.
