Just built my third computer on 12/29/12. Everything is awesome except for shutting it down.
Check my specs below then read after for more info please.
When I click shutdown, the computer tries and the screen goes black. It doesn't though follow through though. Case fans stay lit and it just reboots back to desktop after POST.
BUT, after the first attempt to shutdown (which ends in restart to desktop), my mouse turns off and becomes unresponsive. So, I tab through with my keyboard until I get to the shutdown button and try again a second time. This time, since the mouse is off, it shuts down properly.
Is my mouse the problem? I have tried different ports on the motherboard. All USB 3.0.
Here's the thing though, sometimes when I try to shutdown and it just reboots, it will fully reboot with the mouse active. I will have to try 2-3 times before mouse "shuts-off" then navigate through windows with my keyboard and shutdown properly.
Possibilities that I already checked and don't think are the problem:
1. "Wake On" settings in BIOS are all off. LAN, Mouse, Keyboard etc.
2. RAM timings and voltage are correct though BIOS.
3. This was happening for two days even before I overclocked the CPU.
4. BIOS updated to newest firmware.
Please give me your thoughts and advice.
I will select a best answer.
