Hi all I am trying to troubleshoot a shutdown error on a brand new PC.
I have previously built all my own AMD machines, last one being a 1090T.
Any way I bought a new Pc:
Asus B85m motherboard
I5 4570
2 X 8 gig DDR3
1 X 2gb Sata 3 HDD
MSI 660 GTX
Cooler Master 500 watt it has 42 amps on 12v rail.
It came with Windows 8.1 pro and all drivers pre installed (nothing else, no bloat)
It worked fine for 2 days and I couldn't believe how fast it started up as it has no SSD.
On day three it started up a bit slower, same speed as a full restart, event view said the previous shutdown was not expected, the time of this event was when I booted it? Not the time of the previous shutdown.
It then did this each time I turned off the PC.
I tried everything I removed all the Intel drivers, no change.
Flashed to latest BIOS, no change.
Overnight memtest pass.
All drivers were the latest.
So I reinstalled Windows and only used Device manager to install missing '?' drivers from MOBO disk.
This worked fine. But system was noticeably slower.
I added Realtek audio driver.
Nvidia latest driver
Intel management components.
Intel rapid storage technology.
System was fast again and shutdown and restarted fine.
Then it did it again, slow start up, slight hang on log in and a "previous shut down was not expected" message time was the same time I booted.
I have turned off fastboot in power settings which seems to have stopped this.
Any idea what is wrong?
The mother board beeps once at start up, and nowhere in the manual does it tell you if it is meant to?
It is AMI EFI Bios and there single beep can mean RAM refresh error (that's why I ran memtest)
Pc is great when it's running but I am tearing my hair out trying to fins what is causing this and why I can't use Fast Boot anymore?
I bought a PC because I didn't want issues like this!
Thanks in advance.
