Parsec,
Where are you when I need you! I've posted my problem a couple of times but get no answers. I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Z97 Extreme6 BIOS and or of course W10 v1511 that is causing me the grief. I have two Z77 Extreme4 systems and they do no have the reboot problem. They both have W10 v1511 and a full complement of software. I have three Z97 Extreme6 systems, two with 4790K processors and a full load of software and they both reboot exactly 24 hours after being shut down! I also have a Z97 Extreme6 MB with a G3258 processor with almost nothing installed except W10 v1511 and a few free utilities like CPU-Z, HWiNFO64 and Macrium Reflect. This system too reboots itself exactly 24 hours after it has been shutdown!
I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem on three machines. But then most people probably don't let their system sit shutdown for 24+ hours. And/or like me, if they do, think they just forgot to shut the system down when they noticed it was in a sleep state after 24 hours.
Who has some influence with ASRock Technical Support that might be able to get to the bottom of MY problem minor though it may be - but then it's a hobby? I suppose my next alternative is try a competitor's MB and see if the problem goes away.
