< What the title says > Why does this happen? I've seen it twice before on customer's computers, but now I'm putting a cheapo one together and it's doing it.
**What I have hooked up: mobo, cpu, ram, video, psu (no case)**
Every single time here's what happens:
I turn on the PSU (via the power switch behind it) and the whole computer turns on, posts and all. Then, I turn off PSU, wait for LEDs to turn off, and when I turn PSU back on the system turns on again. If I don't wait for the LED to turn off, then it won't give me this problem, but every cold boot with the power switch and the computer fires up.
So far, the front panel power switch (with my screwdriver) doesn't work at all.
WTF?
