Good Evening guys

Im battling to understand what is goign on with my system maybe you peeps can assist me with this. My Worry is is my issue a concern of damaging my parts.

I received my Gigabyte R9 390 G1 Gaming last week and installed it and everything runs smooth no bottleneck nothing but when I shut down my pc when it is completely off it turns itself back on again and I suspect my PSU and also take note that it only does this when the pc ran for longer than a minute. When booting up and in Windows and I shut down it is doing everything normal. Please see my specs below. I listed everything to understand the draw on my power supply as I know it is not that great but according to the calculators I should be fine. I am not that clued up with PSU's(my one field where I suck as I will most probably die one day by an electrocution)

Do you have gigabyte vga tools @ bios on your system? If not you can download it at http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5500&dl=1&RWD=0#utility . It is towards the bottom of the page. Please run that program for me if you don't mind. When you run it give it like a min to work. It acts like your system is locked up, but it returns to you in like a min. If that program says you have F10 bios, can you please back it up using that program and send it to me? I will pm you my email address.

I got the program to work and backup my current bios, but the first time I did it, it locked up. The second time it work flawlessly. I think you might need to restart after installing that program.

I tried it and it will not let me flash it. Says it is a different version. I think we have different card revisions or something. Apparently I can only update through F1-F9 bios. F10 starts a different series. I even tried renaming the file extension and it still didn't work. Thanks for trying though.

Sorry to bring up a older thread, but I finally found an answer to my problem. I found that you have to enable the ErP setting in your motherboard bios or the card will do the auto restart crap. If you do this though, you lose power on by keyboard, mouse, event wake up, and wake on lan. However, since I do not use these features, it doesn't bother me. It is a blessing to finally be able to put this auto restart problem behind me. I have put up with it for 3 months now by shutting off the psu switch. Now, Maybe finally I will not have to do that anymore. Thanks everyone for your help with this and if anyone else has this problem, they might be able to do the same thing to fix their problem.

Some people had an issue where you go into windows power options -> Choose what the power button does -> Change settings that are currently unavailable -> Uncheck the box that says "turn on fast boot". I personally did not have the turn on fast boot option in my power options. You might can try that too.
