Long delays with restart/power down

I'm looking for some help here. My machine has the following components: Asus
A8N-SLI Deluxe, 1GB Mushkin 3500 ram, 2 EVGA
6600GT video cards running in SLI mode, Thermaltake T2 435w PSU, AMD 64 3200
with the Winchester core with 2 Western Digital SATA2 250GB hard drives
running on the Nvidia N4 raid contoller in a Raid 0. I am running the 1014
bios with the 6.70 chipset drivers. The OS is Windows XP Pro with SP2. The
machine runs great, but when I either do a restart or a shutdown, the OS will
go through its proper shutdown and my monitor screen will go black. At this
point, the machine continues to stay powered on for about 70 seconds (I've
timed it) and then it will finally do what I want it to do (Either restart
Windows or power down). Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is
there a fix that I don't know about? I tend to think its software related,
but I'm not sure. Any and all help/suggestions is greatly appreciated!
