I had a similar issue and it took me weeks to notice that the power button was actually cracked and pushed partway in all the time.

Other than that something isnt closing down properly its a slow process but shut down what you can before you tell windows to shut down ie shutdown AV and things in the task bar then try shutting down.
You can do it in groups shut down everything in the task bar if that cures it you will have to work through each one in turn to find the problem.
Have you checked the event log as that may show were the problem is. Do you have desktop search installed as that is very bad for causing the problem

See if that will power it down
if not from a cmd prompt type
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\TSSHUTDN.EXE 0 /DELAY:0 /POWERDOWN
see if that works you may get an error message 1702
What option have you got set in the BIOS for power management as if you have that set wrong it can cause the problem. If you havent reinstalled windows for a new board this could be the problem just because its a Gigabyte board doesnt mean its the same as the old one.
Another option would be to check for a firmware upgrade for the board see if there is one available they are normally good boards for that as most have duel bios so you can screw it up

If you reboot the pc and go into the BIOS (usually F10 or delete on boot) and look for options in the power screen (or similar) and check if you have an option for "Power Down Action" or "Power Actions"
It sounds like this could be set to "Power on" which would mean that the machine will restart after power loss - if it is, change it to "Last State" or "Off" and it should be ok.
