New computer problems...

[incredablehefey]

I had no idea this thread was active again... Im sorry for not keeping up with it but i did find the problem. After a some time messing with the computer i found the problem. The power button on the case was having intermittent shorts. I talked to Coolmaster and they sent me a new set of buttons. Im going to say that it would have been easier to just get a new case and move all of the parts over to it than have to do what i did and take the case apart but oh well whats done is done. I have not had any problems with it shutting down since the new buttons(other than overclocking problems). I have settled with a semi custom OC and if anyone is interested here are some test results I had it overclocked alot higher than what im at now but i would rather have the computer last a little longer and be more stable than have it OC'd to the max.

Thank you to all of the good reply's.

Why take a brand new home built windows machine and load Linux??? Why even bother to post if you don't address OP's issue or Q?

WHY??? Cuz YOU like Linux? Maybe he's a gamer... no GOOD games for ANY distr0 of Linux! Unless poker or solitaire is your idea of a good PC game.

As stated, I was referencing the quoted post (that I did indeed quote).

The reset and the power connections are crossed on the Mother Board. As you shut down you are actually restarting the unit.

He fixed it already!
