We have rarely had problems like this in the forum, and do not have a simple fix for it.<br><br>You said you have an ASRock 970 Extreme mother board. There are THREE ASRock 970 Extreme mother boards:<br><br>970 Extreme4:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme4/index.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme4/index.asp</a><br><br>970 Extreme3 R2.0: <a href="http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3%20R2.0/index.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3%20R2.0/index.asp</a><br><br>970 Extreme3: <a href="http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/index.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/index.asp</a><br><br>So we still do not know which mother board you are using. After checking each of these boards, it seems you have the 970 Extreme3 R2.0. Is that right?<br><br>I think English is not your native language, so you might have some trouble writing what is happening. Let's look at what you wrote in your first post:<br><br><div><i><b>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;<u>restart is not working properly</u>.&nbsp;My monitor will turn off but my pc is still running. All fans&nbsp;and lights are still running. So to escape this situation&nbsp;I will&nbsp;manually press the power button for a couple of seconds until it turn off. </b></i></div><div><i><b>&nbsp;</b></i></div><div><i><b>Note: <u>The shutting down doesn't have a problem, only the restart</u>.</b></i></div><br>A <b>restart</b> is when you are using Windows, and want to start the PC over again, and go back into Windows, and the PC will still be running. You said you press the power button to turn off the PC, but a <b>restart</b> does not turn off a PC. We are confused about what is happening here, it does not make sense, sorry to say. You will need to explain this better.<br><br><br><br><br>]]>
