I just built a new machine with the following components:
ASUS P5B-VM Intel G965 Micro ATX Motherboard
COOLER MASTER Real Power 450W Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Centurion 541 MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800MHz Memory
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
LITE-ON 16X DVD±R DVD Burner W/ LightScribe and 5X DVD-RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Processor
The system works fine, except for one curious thing...
When you hit the power button on the case, it turns on for 1 second, then turns off for about 5 seconds, and then turn back on and boots up.
When I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP (Home), the machine shuts down, stays off for 5 seconds, and then turns back on and boots up.
It's almost like the power off is acting like a reset. I double checked the connections from the case to the motherboard and things look to be connected correctly.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
John
