Hey! It's my first post here, so I'd like to say hi to all :)

Last week I've built my first PC with help of your forum and youtube. Everything runs perfectly smooth. I have a weird issue though. My front panel RESET button does not work at all when I'm in Windows. It DOES work though when the computer is starting (when mobo logo is visible). I tried it a few times and it definitelly works up to the point when I see "Please wait..." when Windows is loading, just stops working after I log into Windows and see my desktop. I had to reinstall my OS a few hours after the launch (downloaded some chinesee viruses) and before that the button wasn't working either. I tried holding, pressing fast, pressing slow, it just doesnt work. Any ideas? Cause this kinda seems ridiculus to me, I thought this button works every time cause it breaks the circuit on the mobo? Here's my spec.

I have: Windows 7 Pro
Mobo: ASUS Z170-K
Intel i5-6500
Radeon R9 380X
8GB Kingston RAM
240 SSD + 1TB HDD + 1 DVD Rom

Thanks a lot for your help :)
