restart hooped

[Boooger]

Windows XP (SP2), Nvid 6150 video, Viewsonic A71 monitor, Winfast
6150K8MA MB, 2x512 400 DDR RAM.

Whenever I do a restart, Using Windows "RESTART" or the RESTART reset
button on the case. When it reboots, I have no video, keyboard, or
mouse. The fans work (I have power), No beeps.


If I turn off the power and turn the machine back on -- everything
starts fine.


Any ideas why restart isn't working?

A few times that I have encoutered this, after going to 'windows' as the
culprit, it ended up being the PSU.

I'm sorry -- what's a PSU?

Thanks for your help. I think I found the problem. My RESET SW was
plugged into the MB incorrectly. After I fixed that, I've had no more
issues. Funny eh? You look north and the answer was south.
