Hi, I've tried doing several things in BIOS but with no luck.

Enabled sleep in S4 and S5, but as soon at the computer goes to sleep(either the sleep button or auto and I can hear it shuting down) it wakes up again.

The other problem is with Win8. When I shut down it just reboots instead of shut down, with Win7 it shuts down.

I've also disabled all onboard features, besides LAN and the Intel USB and SATA controller. iGPU disabled, Intel Rapid Start and Connect are disabled.

Not having any stability nor other issues whatsoever. Ran Si Soft Sandra full test(stress)/Pi 95(two hours)/Memtest, no issues.

Stats:
i5 3770K(not O.C'ed)
Kingston Hyperx CL9 @XMP2 2133mhz x2 8GB on A_1 and B_1(tried changing from XMP to default, but no difference)
Gainward/Nvidia 660GTX
Intel 330 SSD(system disk) -SATA
Samsung 2TB(storage) -SATA
Sony DVD -SATA
Creative X-FI Xtreme Music -PCI

Nothing is connected to the USB-ports than the mice(Logitech MX518)

Thanks in advance :)

Hi again :) It's working! :D Thanks for your help. I've reset the BIOS and disconnected the other HDD I have. Works fine, with my prefered settings. Had to keep S.M.A.R.T disabled for some reason as by default.

Same error after installing Win 8.1 Public Preview. The S.M.A.R.T switch did not matter. Only solution is to clear cmos(after every re-install and install) and everything will work fine. Had the A2 errorcode since I bought the MB, but the PC works fine.

PS! None of the Windows 8 versions were installed as UEFI(because I run Linux sometimes).
