Recently I built a new HTPC for my living room. Specs are below:
i3-4150
1x4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3
Samsung 830 SSD
Corsair CX430M PSU
ECS H81H3-1 Motherboard
Everything went fine up to the Windows installation. The installation completed, and automatically restarted the computer. However, instead of acting the usual way, the computer stopped displaying to the screen, spun down the optical drive, however, all the fans still spun and lights stayed on. The computer never restarted. The same behavior occurs when I use the restart button on the front of my case.
To fix this, I need to hold down the power button until the computer actually turns off, and restart the computer manually. What could be the cause of this problem, and how could I fix it?
