| 396362 | 2005-10-14 21:38:00 | I have a 2.5 year old Pentium 2.0, just upgraded with new motherboard, power supply and hard drive. When I power down, and try to restart with the power on button, nothing happens. I have to unplug the PC and insert the plug to get it going again. What is happening? |

| 396363 | 2005-10-14 21:50:00 | Could be a Bios setting. Some bios's (sp) have some sort of power option whereby having a quick dip in electricity causes the computer to reboot. Only a theory but check it out anyway | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 396364 | 2005-10-15 23:43:00 | Yes, the BIOS would be the place to start looking. Best bet would be to move your BIOS jumper to the "CLEAR BIOS" or maintanance setting, reboot, and set new settings or BOIS default. Did you say you replaced the MB ? Did the new board come with a CD with an INF to install? Could this be a system confused by old and new INF settings ? | willcracker (7712) | ||
| 396365 | 2005-10-16 01:51:00 | Er, is the leads from the motherboard to the power and/or reset switches correctly plugged into the m/b. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what orientation they should be or the motherboard manual/or markings on the m/b are incorrect. | gibler (49) | ||
