Is not only that the manufacturer does not provide a new BIOS update, but neither provides support for Linux (expected) nor for the model of microprocessor you have bought. > Nice. So no help from manufacturer as I am using not supported CPU and > systems. Typical problem of brand name and its support. The poblem here is that these motherboards are too much customized for the computer manufacturer and can implement settings and instructions which are not available when sold as stand-alone (separate) items. > I still have no idea why system cannot shutdown with different CPU. It does not have to be related but in your case it quite evident there's a straight cause-effect relation. Given that shutting down problems are usually close related to ACPI and ACPI is handled in first place by the BIOS revisions, an upgrade could have helped to solve the problem but if there are no new firmwares available you can try to load an updated kernel.
