OK!! Problem Solved!!

Hopefully, this thread will help someone else in the same predicament as I was. Here's the deal:

It has to do with the ASUS P5 series of Motherboards. For some reason, Windows 7 installs with a power management setting on the IEEE 1394 Host Bus Controller set wrong. So, when Windows shuts down, for some reason it thinks it has to leave the IEEE ports hot.

To solve the problem, go to Device Manager, go to the IEEE Host Bus Controller and right click on the 1394 Device. Select PROPERTIES and then the POWER MANAGEMENT tab. You will see that the item "Allow the Computer to turn this device off to save power" will be unchecked.

Check it and the problem is SOLVED!!!

Thanks to all for your input. These board specific issues are hard for a community to help with, but I appreciate everyone who took the time to respond.

TU píše ako to vyriešiť len som ho trochu nepochopil... neviete ako sa dostanem na nejaké "hostiteľské radiče zberince" vo WIN 10 ?
