Any particular reason why you updated the bios? Normally, you don't do this unless it fixes an issue you are currently having with the system. There are many times bios updates go bad. Then you say you did windows updates, did you do any driver updates?

I did this because there was a performance and some other fix's.

No i did not update any drivers as i know.

Do a system restore back to a day when it was shutting down fine. If it shuts down fine, then it was windows update causing the issue. You will have to install updates one at a time until you figure out which one is causing it.

Like John say. Do restore back and do install update one at a time.

As my expreince, NEVER installing any driver by using windows update. It could cause issued. Recommend download driver from ATI and ASUS. I can provide link if you like.

Maybe I was wrong but it looks like you have registry damages. If you know how it work, use regedit command. If not, use program cleaner but it is not free. It would be better if someone else who has experience with program clean recommend you something. Possible cause by downloading from windows update for driver.

After used that cleaner program, it should solve problem.

Please correct me John me if I'm wrong.

DEFINITELY, always go directly to the manufacturer when installing drivers. The drivers that Windows Update installs is made by Microsoft a lot of the time, and I've seen some major issues when installing those over the proprietary ones, even if the manufacturer's one is several years old and the MS one is brand new.

On a clean install installing the WHQL certified driver from windows is fine, but if your installing a driver over a driver...with the MS one being installed over the vendor specific one, well thats just going to end up with headaches.
