GA-X58A-UD7 running Windows 7 won't shut down

[jlarimore]

I'm running Windows 7 on my new X58 Rig and I'm having a very annoying problem. My system won't completely shut down on its own. The OS seems to mostly shut down and the monitor goes into standby mode, But, the case fans, and possibly hard drives, keep going indefinitely. I noticed that there are a lot of people with ASUS boards reporting the same problem with limited suggestions. Is there any way around this problem, or am I stuck waiting for new BIOS?

8GB G-Skill 17600 RAM
HP Wifi PCI-e WIFI adapter
SB XFI Platinum
GeForce 260 GTX

This is a bug in F2 and is fixed in F3a and F3c

I updated to f3g and the problem still persists.

I have the same board with same problem.

 shut down the os and the monitor turns off and fans and lights stay on wait 5-15 mins will power down all the way
 only way i found so it shuts down strate away is to turn the raid to ide and it shuts down
 soon as i put it back in raid it wont shut down again 

Bit of a pain when running 1x ssd for OS and 2x 250GB for apps drive in (RAID 0)
