Wont reset or restart

[toolpusher]

Hi

My power supply failed to my Mesh PC with a ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard . The PS was a HEC-550TD-PTE which I replaced with Corsair TX750. I have a problem in that there was a small white 3 pin plug on the original power supply with a black and white cable that fitted about an inch above where the sata cables plug in. I dont have a similar plug on the Corsair. The PC has booted up and everything works fine except when I restart the pc from Win 7 or the manual rest , it does not restart it just sits there with the green power leds on, fans running etc but does not boot back into win 7. I then have to completely power down the PC and restart. I expect its due to this plug not being fitted or that I need to adjust something in the bios.

Any help appreciated

TP

Hi

Sorry tried removing and replacing all cables etc, its done the trick everything working fine including rebooting from a software restart. All good. Still like to know what the 3 pin plug is for?

I believe that the 3-pin power connector was for the old floppy disk drives.

Scratch that, floppies used 4-ping connectors.

Hi my pc is fine, really think just resetting the cable connections done it for me is this quite common ?

3 pin could be a fan connector
