Hey guys,
My main rig looks like this: a Ryzen 5 2600X, Gigabyte DS3H 450M, 32GB DDR4 3000 memory, and a 512GB SATA SSD. It usually shuts down in about 1 to 1.5 minutes. I’d say it’s not a big issue.
Lately I noticed a Ryzen 7 5800X on sale, so I upgraded my CPU and added 32GB DDR4 3200 memory. The process was quick—just remove and install—but my computer still takes around 5 minutes to shut down sometimes.
Could there be a reason for this delay? How can I fix it?
TIA.
Did you refresh the BIOS before adding the Ryzen 7 5800x? What version are you currently running? Also, please share details about the 32GB DDR4-3200 memory installation. I saw your specifications in the signature area; it’s best to add them to the discussion thread so changes don’t affect future advice. Your current specs are noted, but the power supply information is missing—could you provide the model and age of your PSU?
The bios version is gigabyte ds3h 450m f62d, compatible with 5800x and 2600x. It's not the newest bios, but upgrading the bios seems like a good next step.
if you didn't reinstall windows, there will be a list showing the hardware from the old CPU and the new one. The old CPU list won't respond and might slow down startup or shutdown. Once the new CPU is installed, reset the BIOS to defaults so it can rebuild the database that sends data to Windows. You could also open the Windows Control Panel or Device Manager, go to the view menu, enable hidden devices, and remove any greyed-out hardware entries from the tree.

If you check here, the F62d entry isn't present. They likely removed it because of problems or they uploaded a more stable version. I recommend updating to the newest BIOS and then reset the CMOS by unplugging from power, turning off the display, removing the battery, holding the power button for 30 seconds to drain any remaining charge, and after 30 minutes replace the battery again.
That's typical for Gigabyte—the BIOS they offer isn't listed on their site anymore. It's possible it was a beta version, as they often test before finalizing a release. They might still have it in place just in case, since I wouldn't have installed it if I knew it would disappear again.
It looks like F62d caused issues during image flashing, which likely led to its removal or replacement.
I should update it, but it still functions.
The reason I didn't flash initially was my concern about compatibility with my existing Ryzen 5 2600x. After flashing the latest BIOS F67d, the problem persisted. I plan to try the workaround about removing the CMOS battery later. If that fails, I'll consider reinstalling Windows at a later time.
It's good to hear. I've tried removing the battery and resetting the BIOS, but it didn't solve the problem. I plan to reinstall Windows 11 later.
Try a clean boot and observe if it alters the outcome—follow the guidelines carefully. Ensure no Microsoft services are disabled or Windows won’t load properly. It doesn’t remove files, just halts non-Microsoft programs during startup. Simple to undo. If this resolves the issue, it likely points to a startup program. Over several restarts, restart the stopped applications to pinpoint the culprit. Worth a shot.
Did you check for chipset driver updates?
