and i'm not touching the reset button haha.



sometimes i notice there's a static discharge and sometimes there isn't(or maybe too little for me to notice)...but when I do touch the front of my case the computer always restarts....anyone know what might cause this? If i leave it alone nothing happens and the computer will run just fine. but if I make contact with the front of top part of the case, it restarts.

Hmmm,, sounds like you have a short to ground, which when you touch it, it completes the circuit, you might have to pull the beast apart whilst looking for a metal to metal connection that should not be maybe at one of the mobo's stand offs, it is just a matter of being Vewery,vewery observant, like when hunting wabbits...:)

I would check and make sure all the motherboard standoffs are still installed and screws still in them. Some times they work themselves loose and could possible give you a short.
