Plextor SATA PX-810SA Power off issue


Hi All,

I just got a new DVD burner for my new machine. I am running the following setup:

Abit an932x fatal1ty
AMD x2 3.0 dual core
wd 10,000 raptor 74gb x2 stripe setup
geforce fx 8800gts 640mb
2 gigs corsair xms ddr800 pc6400
mushkin 750w
win xp pro

Ok i just installed the new drive it works great, fast, etc. Now when i go to shut windows down it hangs for about 15 seconds then the monitor goes to no signal and the machine stays running and i have to manually power it off.
I have tried all jumper settings, disabled my ide controller too the drive out of the boot sequence. There is no firmware to update on the drive that i can find. all of my win updates are done. I can't seem to figure this thing out. Any suggestions?

Does it exhibit the safe behaviour when shutting down from Safe Mode?

Have you installed Service Pack 2?

If not ... do so.

Also, part and parcel to security.... I clean the pagefile at shutdown...

depending on its size... this can take a few seconds...

I have tried other ports no change. All windows updates are done. I'll try to shutdown in safe mode.

When you "Shut windows down"... do you mean a real shutdown or a sleep state?
