or hybernate. check your power options.Ummm, make sure it does not say Start --> Sleep....
I was not able to put my computer to sleep the first night.
after a shut down it is all good now though.
Try a power cycle. Power down the system. if it doesn't shutdown like you said. pull the cord out of the PSU for over 10 seconds and let it all calm down. and return it on. see if that helps.
I think you'll find the answer to your problem here
Sleep constantly resumes
Almost certainly down to the network adaptor settings.
Hi I have exactly the same issue. I think it is an issue with the Asus motherboard, maybe an ACPI driver.
It's your computer's way of coping with the experience that is windows 7, it needs a minute to realize what just happened to it before shutting down.
Where do we report this. I thought in Windows 7 there would be a report a bug option. I have looked on a couple of forums and a few people have this issue.
Open Task Manager and see what's running in "Processes" before you try to shut down your machine. It could be Internet Explorer, your Antivirus, or some other process that's unwilling to let it shut down at the moment.
