I am having a hard time understanding what the problem is.
It shuts down by itself?
It is OK if you power it down with the power button?
It wont reboot after shutdown?
It wont wake up from sleep mode?
Please explain (with punctuation please, it is helpful).

ya sorry i just realized i didn't explain this very well ill try again lol

no it dose not shut down by itself , when i restart it manually via start button it will restart and boot up fine but if i restart it again not powering down after the first restart, it will not reboot. i have to power it down via the power button then start it back up.

this is a 24/7 machine and i never power it down i just restart it i usually try to restart it once a week just to refresh every thing but with software, and utility updates often it gets restarted more often

I had a similar issue with my Crosshair V board and it was fixed by a bios update. Ever since I up dated to the 1301 bios it has not had the issue.

Windows 7 default for the "soft" button (from the start menu) is "Sleep". If you are using the "soft" button, and haven't changed its function in "power management" in control panel, then it is just putting the computer to sleep. It is not waking up properly....

In your BIOS, look for the "sleep state" setting, it will either be S1 or S3, whichever it is (I'm guessing it is set s1), change it to the other.

You could reprogram the "soft" button to "shutdown" instead of "sleep" in the advanced power options.
