With the latest bios 80 my computer hangs at shutdown sometimes. It happens when I put my computer to sleep once throughout the day. At night when I go to sleep and shut down my computer it hangs. My monitor turns off and everything but the computer still on. I uploaded a video showing that everything is running like the cpu fan, graphics fan, and the motherboard still on. This never happened in the last bios.

I already email Jacob about it but no response yet. Last bios I never had this problem.

Another problem too is that my monitor sometimes will stay off when I start my computer from cold boot or sleep. The computer starts normally but my monitor stays off. I have to manually turn off and on the monitor to show the desktop.

Here is the vid on youtube of my computer hanging at shutdown:

Here are my bios settings (Same settings I used in the previos bios and never had a problem for many months):  

 
Hello the system appearing to shut down but everything staying on sounds like your OS is requesting a sleep state.
 
sounds like your entering apm state not acpi.
 
is acpi sleep states enabled in the bios?

When exit the official bios 80? :D

I appreciate that Jacob and EVGA came though with this 80 Beta, but personally, my beef was with the VT double pump, the Raid BIOS is just a bonus (for me).

I'm going to wait until that is put in, but since it hasn't even been mentioned, I'm doubtful we'll ever see it fixed.

I think we will -- EVGA has come through with the new ROMs as requested, and that's the harder and bigger job than fixing double-pump VT. As I understand it, a fix was already used in the past but removed because some people had problems (but others didn't). At the very least they could easily add that again and let those of use who use VT frequently try it out, even as a beta BIOS.

There have been enough people asking for this that it has to be top priority next on their list. For me, whether this gets fixed determines whether I buy EVGA boards in future.

----------------------------------
I'm ok with martigen, I also request corrections in the next bios (not 6 months).
Why is long with EVGA to get the correct bios?
Dual booting is really bad for the hardware (hdd) so now we must work to finally remove it, and why not do bios beta 80 with the correction if it works for sure, if this does not work, ok go back to official bios 80 and here, in the meantime.
I acknowledge the work for new bios and am happy about that but now we must continue, not stop for 3 months as before.
For me too, it'll be the first factor to purchase new EVGA

The next BIOS we are progressing on. We are looking to fix the screen refresh when Intel RAID Rom shows (already fixed) and also enable dynamic voltage when turbo is enabled and voltage set manually (still testing)

thanx jacob do you mean, fix manual voltage not dropping with speed step that would be a nice fix.

Can you make the first screen to appear for a little longer period of time? The one with the system info, bios, gpus number etc. It boots so fast that it does't show up ))

press the pause/break button

its not missing its called SATA 6 controller just not label marvell anymore.

Yes

EVGA_JacobF thank you again for your work and continue with new bios.

Really try to fix the boot 2 times would be great, many people ask this, (and also our hard drives).
We appreciate your business.

Awesome news! Is it possible if you could let us know if your considering using the Intel version of the AHCI rom instead of Pheonix's? Or if there is some unforeseen problem with using it? Most people were kind of expecting that to be part of the Raid bios update since unlike the raid rom when it was manually added it worked, but it must use a different syntax then the Pheonix since the bios cant communicate with it.
 
I know allot of people have been hoping for that, and it would benefit everyone, not just those with a Raid volume.

EVGA_JacobF Also we are still working on the VT double boot.

That would be the one to fix! Kudos to you in advance...
 
And if you have some spare development cycles, please concentrate on S3 problems as well. Right now manual vcore and S3 don't work together. 3rd wake from sleep reboots instead of resuming.

Sorry I did not answer earlier but I somehow missed your reply.

That is my settings that I have... When the computer hangs in shutdown, all I do is press shutdown in Windows 7. Nothing else. The only thing I notice is that it happens when in the day I put my computer to sleep at least once. Doesn't happen always but it has happen when I put my computer to sleep at least once in the day, when I go to shutdown my computer the computer hangs just like I showed in the video.
 
Not sure if sleep causes this but shutdown hasn't hanged when I don't put my computer to sleep at least once in the day. So I'm thinking it has to do with sleep with the latest bios. At least for me, this hasn't happened in the previous bios just the new 80 bios.

For those of you who use VT and don't like the double boot, and are interested in testing a possible release candidate BIOS, can you send me a mail at jacobf@evga.com
 
Make sure to specify the motherboard you have.

I am observing exactly the same thing with this BIOS. Computer would appear to shut down. Windows has gone through its shutdown screen. The power led is off but the fans keep on spinning and the motherboard is still powered. This happens only if I have previously put my computer in standby.

Also we are still working on the VT double boot.

Thankyou :)
