Hello,
New to this so bear with me. I ordered a new motherboard and cpu the other day and after installing I found I was given wrong cpu (I ordered a Z97-Pro Gamer + i7 4790k, but I got a Z97 + Dual core 2.8ghz ) and the seller asked me to return item for replacement , so I had to reinstall my old motherboard ( my old mobo is a H81m-H ). Since then my computer will not shut down. It goes through the windows process " Shuting Down " and my screen goes blank but the lights stay on and the fans continue to spin. I now have to hold my power button for 5 secs to switch it off. I have adjusted my power settings for Samsung max performance and checked that the power button has correct setting in power management. Also tried to enter shutdown via CMD prompt(shutdown /s /t 00) with same result. I have also disabled the 'Fast Boot' option with no difference .When the computer remains lights on and fans spinning I can not use the power button to switch back on, it just remains as is unless I hold down for 5 seconds and force shut down. Please Help as I'm getting quite concerned that this is going to adversely effect my ssd/graphics card ( will it ? ). My (current) Specs :
i7 4790 3.4 ghz
H81m-H motherboard
Samsung 850 Evo 500 Gb
850w Pro Psu
Msi 980 ti
There are no yellow triangles on my device manager, seems to think everything is OK.
Apologies if its something simple that I'm missing and being stupid, but right now that's the answer I'm hoping for
