    Windows 10 restarts on shut down/sleep from gigabyte/intel wifi card


    I recently built a new computer and it restarts on shutdown or when the computer idles. I removed my Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I wifi card(here is a link to the card) from the motherboard and the computer was able to shut down properly. Looking for any help I can get.

    I have tried all the solutions I found from google searches (wake on lan settings, bios settings, disabling fast boot both in windows and in bios, changing the integer for PowerDownAfterShutdown in the registry files, dont have on/off gigabyte installed) and am still having no luck. Thought I would post here and see if anyone could help me out.

    Have you installed the Win 10 X64 driver?

    GC-WB867D-I rev. 1.0 rev. 4.2 rev. 2.0

    I think you need the WLAN driver.

    Yup, installed the latest driver(both of them). I made sure it was the most up to date driver being used in the device manager.

    Does that mean the card is a add-on PCI card and not built into the motherboard? If not, what do you mean by removed?

    The simplest fix may be to add a new Gigabit PCI NIC.

    Also, fill out System Specs for tenforums.

    Yes the wifi card connects via PCIe, it is not built into the motherboard. My restarting problem went away when I removed the gigabyte wifi card from the PCIe slot in the motherboard, but then my computer has no internet. Looks like a new wireless card is the best bet but that seems silly to me. Gigabyte's support hasn't responded to my email from 3 days ago yet, I'm going to stay away from them.
