Hello all...

My PC won't shut down. When I click shut down on Win8 it follows through, and shut's down for a split second then turns back on.
The actual power button does not respond when I shut it off or on either. Same thing happens when I put it to sleep.
This may have been caused by my recent upgrade of a my motherboard and processor (I had a Athlon II X2 215 with a Pegatron Violet 6). It was originally a HP.
I put in a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 with a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition.
I suspect there's an issue with the F Panel, but I can't tell.
Another problem is that the light for "hey, i'm working with the disk" is always on and never off.
I played with the Bios a bit but nothing seemed to change things.
Please, help.
This is really annoying.

Probably. Please read the manual again if no manual then look closely with a magnifying glass theres a diagram printed on the PCB its the white pin connectors just beside the 4 blue sata points It should tell you which connector goes where. This is why I like asus bards with Q connectors makes life easy.

Imomun!
Thanks for the reply. You confirmed my fears. I had inserted the plug for the F_Panel on the COM serial port panel. Simply because it fit. There was one remaining 5 pin plug for the SD/XD card reader where I got confused where it would go. But it seems it goes straight to a USB , covering only half of the actual port.
Let me know what you think man!
Thanks...
