Hi everyone. The motherboard is an ASUS P3B-F. It uses an ATX power supply. When in DOS, the only thing installed on the machine, the power button acts like a reset switch, and reboots the machine rather than turning it off. At first I thought this was an issue with the momentary switch. But I tested by plugging in the switch normally used for reset instead, and the behavior was the same. Is this normal? Could it be the power supply?
BTW, If I press the power button during post it will turn off the machine, but then the BIOS thinks something went wrong with the cpu/bus frequencies because the machine was not able to complete the post. So now the only way I have to turn the machine is by unplugging it from the wall.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
