Sorry about my heretic question, but I remember myself I bought two identical A7V motherboards for our lab year's ago, both driven by Windows 2000 and later Windows XP and FreeBSD. On box never had problems being switched off via push-button or shutdown -p, the other box never performed this task! Even not on Windows. Both boxes used the same BIOS versions, same CPU, same peripherial hardware ... But I never examined the board revision ...
