I just overhauled my COMPUTER a few days ago (new mobo, vid card, hard drive, processor) and it works great, except when i use window's "shut down" mode, the computer won't turn back on when i press the front power button.  I looked in my case and the bios lights stay on, so I have to unplug the PSU until the bios lights turn off, then usually even wait another 10-15 secs, then plug it back in and press the front power button a COUPLE times before it turns on

what the *censored*?  my PSU worked fine with my old system, so it's not that.  And the front power button works, just under these special circumstances, and I followed the guides to the mobo exactly so I'm pretty SURE I plugged in the front power button to the right spot.Sounds like the front power switch is wired backwards...try reversing it.
i'll try that, but i thought i followed the directions exactlyok, tried it, and there's no change

:/  am i just screwed, or what?Was looking in my bios to see if I had an option that would cause that PROBLEM , but do not see it. Tried yours?
