Shuts down, but doesn't turn off.

[jellymonster]

Hi,

 

One the the main issues still bugging me is, when I press Shut down or restart, it looks like it shuts down, but then doesn't switch off the computer.

 

It does now and then, but the majority of the time it doesn't.

 

Anyone have a clue why?

 

I have a GA-EP35-DS3L motherboard.

 

Thanks

That's a common issue.

 

The simplest fix is to use the "OpenHaltRestart.kext"

 

A quick search on this site should turn it up.

I have Asus P5B motherboard, openhaltrestart and EvOreboot does not help.

I don't think openhaltrestart has worked on mine either. But i've got a leopard version and don't know if it's changed in snow leopard =S

Try my boot-loader here. It'll fix this issue kext-free + much more

Still no luck. But now it shuts down okay if I choose "Shutdown" from menu, but if I use a hardware button on my PC it just do the same thing as before - CPU cooler is still spinning, but display goes dark and I can hear as HDD shuts down. Any suggestions what I've got to do?..

This might not help but when i fixed my usb ports (USBBusFix=y) my shutdown time decreased dramatically. Before, my laptop took 4 minutes to go from (i booted in -v) "System Ready For Shutdown" or something like that to poweroff.

remove applenullcpupowermanagement.kext

 

add this in ur dsdt :

 

Device (SBRG)

{

Name (_ADR, 0x001F0000)

OperationRegion (LPC0, PCI_Config, 0xA0, 0x54)

Field (LPC0, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)

{

, 10,

XPME, 1,

Offset (0x04),

AG3E, 1,

Offset (0x50),

RCBA, 32

}

 

Device (IELK)

 

and this

 

 

Method (_PTS, 1, NotSerialized)

{

If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x05))

{

Store (One, \_SB.PCI0.SBRG.AG3E)

}

Else

{

Store (Arg0, DBG8)

PTS (Arg0)

Store (Zero, Index (WAKP, Zero))

Store (Zero, Index (WAKP, One))

If (LAnd (LEqual (Arg0, 0x04), LEqual (OSFL (), 0x02)))

{

Sleep (0x0BB8)

}

 

Store (ASSB, WSSB)

Store (AOTB, WOTB)

Store (AAXB, WAXB)

Store (Arg0, ASSB)

Store (OSFL (), AOTB)

Store (Zero, AAXB)

}

}

 

And fix ur powerbutton in dsdt, everything should be work with these edits, shutdown reboot without any kext
