I might be able to give you definitive information but you didn't state your current mobo make/model. This problem is likely documented in the errata, along with the solution, which is likely upgrade to BIOS version x.xx.xxx or later. It's a Fujitsu-Siemens G31T-M2 manufactured by ECS but no such board on ECS site. I flashed the last BIOS some years ago as BIOS is from 2008 and no success. Fujitsu support wrote an email that Linux and E8400 is not supported by them. Bye, a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Supported OS is: Windows Vista and supported CPUs are: 38006431 CPU INTEL PDC E2140 / 775 38006431 CPU INTEL PDC E2140 / 775 38009419 CPU INTEL PDC E2160 775 45W Wow... how bad. 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.
