I upgraded from the Intel Core i3-2100 to a Intel Core i5-3570K. Everything went smoothly except one little quirk.Windows 7 will not Shutdown, Restart or Sleep.
When Shutdown or Restart are selected, I get the shutdown screen, but it hangs and then freezes and never shuts down. When I select Sleep, the monitor shuts off, but the computer remains on and running.
Manually shutting down with the power button works ok.
I'm thinking a bios update and Windows repair disc are the next steps to take, but I would have to ask around for a disc and I wouldn't look forward to a bios update.
Has anyone seen this before?
