BIOS F.10 has released.  Please try installing it to resolve the shutdown issue. We strongly recommend you to upgrade to BIOS F.10 rather than downgrading it to F.05

From what I can see from everyone elses experience, no.

One person claimed he could downgrade it. But in my experience, if you have trouble downgrading a bios to begin with and you try to force it anyways, you might end up bricking the motherboard. So I would play it safe and wait, no matter what someone else claims. My humble opinion.

Very cute setting me up with your solution. But you are posting something from a third party site that we would have no way of knowing is trust worthy. Anyone reading this, use at your own risk.
