Apologies for duplication, I posted this in the systems section but perhaps more appropriate here...
Hoping someone could provide some help with my issue
Yesterday I installed a new soundcard in my PC and since then it won't shut down properly. Windows closes down and the monitor goes off but the lights on the tower stay on and the fans are still spinning. I'm guessing this has something to do with the new soundcard as it was working perfectly prior to this.
The motherboard is a z77 extreme 4 and the soundcard is an asus xonar 5.1.
I would note that when I was installing it I noticed that the soundcard was blocking the graphics card's fans so I switched the sound card with the network card (as the network card is a lot smaller/didn't block the GPU fan) maybe switching these could have done something?
Would love to hear what people think...
