It an Asus Bios Bug. Happened to me on my Sabertooth. Unplug the PC from the wall. Let the motherboard drain...clear the CMOS. Boot back up and reset the CMOS and then check for any bios updates. The PC should shut down fine before the updates.

In Windows 7 go into Device Manager and the the IEEE1394 Bus Controller. Right click the controller and go to the "Power Management" tab. Check-mark "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

"settings-> system-> power & sleep-> Additional plan settings-> change plan settings-> change advanced power settings-> sleep-> allow wake timers-> disable

Try this: Press (Windows Key)+R and type in regedit and hit enter. Locate the following key:

Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Double Click on "PowerdownAfterShutdown"

Then,
Change it to "0" if it is "1" OR
Change it to "1" if it is "0".

And hit Enter.

Then restart the computer and after it restarts try to shutdown again. Hopefully this will work for you. :)

***If this doesn't work make sure you change the value in reg edit back to what it was originally***
