| 1415297 | 2016-02-01 23:17:00 | Specs: MB : Asus Z91-A OS: Win8.1 with latest updates Randomly, when shutting down, the OS shuts down but the PC fans keeps spinning. I got to turn OFF the power from the wall outlet to shut it down completely. Is this a hardware or software related issue? This PC is running OK, otherwise. Cheers |

| 1415298 | 2016-02-02 03:04:00 | some fans do keep spinning for x amount of time, to keep cooling the system down. Do they eventually shut down ? Otherwise, likely to be a motherboard bug, assuming fans are connected to mb. Try a bios update. Or Win may not be shutting down, just going into hybernate or sleep mode |

| 1415299 | 2016-02-02 04:15:00 | No. I have to turn it OFF from the wall outlet. All my fans are connected to the MB. Just updated my BIOS to 2801 from 2401 , few minutes ago. It was working just fine until recently - it has happened 3 times already within a month. |

| 1415300 | 2016-02-02 04:40:00 | Open the eventvwr At the time of the problem see if theres any entries as to whats happened -If so what are they. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1415301 | 2016-02-02 07:44:00 | In event viewer, there are a few critical errors almost everyday : " The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." I am the only person using this PC and I DO shut down my PC properly; and my PC doesn't shut down or lost power 'unexpectedly' as reported by Event Viewer. It sounds weird. The report doesn't look like its from my machine! |

| 1415302 | 2016-02-02 08:36:00 | Dont have any W8.1's here. But on teh start page, type in Reli you are looking for Reliability Monitor / History, open that ( takes a minute or two to open). Its a lot more detailed, and should have errors when it shuts down with warnings etc. Click on a time and see what they report has faulted -- Hopefully its not one of MS's really helpful messages saying "your computer shut down" No damn kidding ;) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1415303 | 2016-02-02 09:00:00 | Yup, there are errors (almost everyday!): " Summary: Windows was not properly shut down " , Technical details: " The previous system shutdown at 10:09:17 a.m. on 2/02/2016 was unexpected. " |

| 1415304 | 2016-02-02 09:14:00 | Just took a closer look at the Reliability History, that, it reports Windows was not properly shut down when I shut down the PC (Properly); but when I restart the PC, there's no such report. In short, the error is only for Shut Downs but not for Restarts. |

| 1415305 | 2016-02-02 09:24:00 | I was wrong. Just did a few Restarts and Shut Downs, no errors reported. The last error was at 10.06pm when I shut it down. | bk T (215) | ||
