I have to use the front-panel |switch to turn it off, then power it back on. Which is a bummer if you |have to reboot it remotely. Btw, the front-panel switch is one of these |new types when you have to hold it down for several seconds before it |actually powers the machine off.
That should be changeable in teh BIOS. Does the reboot switch not work? |I'm wondering if it's some hardware problem. It's my understanding that |a restart is basically like a push button reset. The last thing the CPU |does is pull the reset line (A20 or A21 ??) which causes the M/B to go |through its boot-up. But, now with ACPI and these smart power supplies, |I was wondering if somehow this is the cause of my problem. | |Any other suggestions? We have some systems here that do this when we add in certain sound cards. It appears to be an interrupt or similar resource conflict.
