NF7-M wont shut down

[dlittlebear]

I have an NF7-M that will not shut down. When I try and shut down it just reboots. I have tried disconnecting the powerbutton same problem.

I have held down the powerbutton to where the PC shuts off, did the test again and the PC kept power cycling while the button was depressed.

actually this is a diff PC, same board.
Not actually mine, but I was oh so lucky to get the problem call.

Will check the green light thing this evening, when I go back over there.

List your full system specs again including Bios version being used, OS, PSU size..ect.

all in the first post, save for HDD which is IBM 80gb and RAM maker, corsair VR 512 333. Has cdrw and dvd drive too. Can get specifics on the cd drives when I go back there this evening.

Sounds like your Front Panel PWR Switch and reset switch are not conected properly . .Look in the manual for the proper connections .No manual ? Get online and download it .

it happens regardless if the front panel is connected or not. It did work fine for like the first 3 mos of operation, now, it has been doing it for 10 or so mos.

the green light does go out, but for just a moment as the PC cycles power the light comes back on. the other light stays on all the time. Powersupply is 350w.

I have noticed that running winbond hardware Doctor v2.7 It says that the vsb is low. 4.29v.
