My computer power cycles when using front panel switches

any new(post 09) motherboards have atleast 1 pin spacing between different connections,

Mine don't but mainly and to the point i believe his don't either although only looked at newegg pics lool. All so brings up a point if they are as the old power connection would be wrong to some mobo's by what you said right ?, thinking if that's the case their is problem may be ?.

Do you think
my issue could be that my PSU doesn't have enough wattage to start my all the parts in my rig at once

not a chance in hell. that PC wouldnt even use 500W - i'd almost bet money its even under 350W in normal gaming, going by your system specs.

since the OP was so vague...

are these reboots from a cold start, press the power button - PC spins up, then reboots, and powers on normally from there?

the power LED has three with a space, power button has two. always has, always will.

It happened exactly as you described. Me and a friend spent some time troubleshooting though, and it seemed to be either the bios was corrupt, or a feature I turned on made it do that.

its just an overclocking protection system. it boots the system up at stock settings, then reboots into the ones you've chosen.

Does this so if the 2nd attempt fails, it can reboot into a stable setting and let you know it failed instead of the old way of a blank screen doing nothing.

There is a very slim chance that your BIOS settings are incorrect (say you have 1600Mhz ram but forgot to up the voltage to 1.65v) and it fails to boot, and reboots to 'safe' settings without telling you.

In other words this is not a fault or a problem, its merely a feature you didnt know about. i had it on gigabyte boards back in the 775/core 2 days.

The only problem with this feature is that it's hard telling if you dont know about it, whether the feature is working or there is a hardware problem.

at default BIOS settings it shouldnt do it, so most people wouldnt be affected. it was in the manual for my old giga boards.

Under where? What feature is required to turn on for that. I'd like to know so I don't turn it back on, as I don't overclock.

its not a specific setting. its automated based on what you've set - for example manually setting your ram speed could enable it.

just set things how you want and ignore it, its a safety feature. stop stressing about it and leave it be, or use sleep mode instead of shutting the PC down to bypass it completely.

might be.

anyway if its the switch its the easiest to fix costs a couple of cents. wha happened to mine was that the switch some how shorted itself out for no reason, when it wanted

so intesne fap session,suddenly wild shut down screen appears.

Tell you the truth i never plug in the power led one and not plugging it in will not stop the comp from starting, so as long as the power and reset are plugged in the system should boot right unless there is another issue..

I thought he was saying the power connecter could be 2 pin with a space which i have never seen unless it was built by a company.

i was just clarifying that he must have mistaken the 3 pin power LED, for the power connector itself.
