The computer doesn't completely shut down

[teodor_baciu2009]

Hello! Quite recently I bought an ultra wide monitor for my PC. It's actually the very first monitor I have that is connected through Display Port.

Every time I stop using the computer, I also turn the display completely off, because I don't like the flashing power led when it's on stand by.

I noticed that when I turn off the monitor before the PC, the PC will somehow stay running. The motherboard (Z370 AORUS Gaming 7) has RGB lighting that turns off, but the power led and all the fans (CPU, Case and GPU) remain on.

The PC remains in this "running state" until I power on the display again. When I power on the display, the PC shuts down completely.

Is there any way I can prevent this from happening? It's quite annoying to have to wait for the PC to shut down in order to turn off the display.

Access your display's menu system, go to general.
There you will find an option to turn the LED off altogether.
That way, you can leave your display turned on permanently and won't experience your shut down issue.

Thank you for the reply, but that doesn't solve my problem.
The setting you mentioned is for when the monitor is turned on. When it is turned off, the power LED will constantly flicker on and off regardless of the setting.

make sure the mb and monitor have the newest bios and firmware. may be a firmware or bios bug.

The display is running fine. The PC is acting up when the display is turned off.
Also, the UEFI is up to date.
