Greetings,

Perhaps this is what pressing the reset switch does. Quite honestly I never much used the reset switch on my HAF 912. Thats what start>reset is for.

Anyways, I have done it in the past and its never been an issue.

I just reinstalled windows on my ssd and tested rebooting and noticed it did the following.

1. Instant Shutdown
2. Reboot, prompting me to start in safe mode. (Error Recovery menu.)

Any input?

[edit] I recently took my mobo out and reinstalled it because I thought I would be painting the interior of the case.

It just occurred to me that perhaps I attached the reset cable wrong to the mobo. I'll get back to you guys on that. (If that is the problem, I'll letcha guys know. If so, hope I didn't inflict any serious damage to my machine... I'd imagine that couldn't be good for it.)
