Desktops & All-In-Ones

I have a Acer Predator 3600, after swapping the harddrive and reinstalled Windows 7 I have problems with the shut-down behavior.

When shutting down windows the powerbutton keeps lit and the screen gets black but the computer does not shut down properly.

Good day

I am having the exact same problem with this computer.  Did you ever figure out the solution?  The link that was posted as the solution is not the actual solution.

how do you shut-down?

pressing power button or start/shut down

[Jgtremillo]

start/shutdown.  I have checked all of the power options and sleep and hibernation is all turned off.

did you have any USB device connected?

check also in BIOS about ACPI settings if any.

[Jgtremillo]

the only usb device is the wifi and yes, when I installed the hard drive, I had to change the bios settings from RAID to ACPI in order for it to install Windows onto it

[Jgtremillo]

I checked and still have the problem even when I unplug the wifi

[Jgtremillo]

Sorry, my mistake, that was AHCI.  I changed from RAID to AHCI

[Jgtremillo]

In answer to your question, the BIOS has an "ACPI suspend mode."  Under that, there are two options: S3(STR) (this is what it is set to) and S1(POS).  I have tried it on both, with the same results.
