Why wont my system reboot? I'm using XP Pro on an ASUS A7V600 MB with 2400
Athlon and 512 PC2100 ddr ram. When I say it wont reboot it will if you
unplug the power cable or hold the switch in for 4 secs but it wont restart
automatically when I flash the BIOS or install software. There is nothing on
the system at present bar the OS, I have swopped all the components
including the drives, memory and video card from another system to see if
that made a difference-it doesnt. I have ACPI enabled in the BIOS and have
the latest BIOS revision. To my mind it cant be software. Either its a
simple BIOS problem that Ive overlooked (unlikely because it is not a new
system as it worked fine before) or have I fried a particular circuit on the
board. The bloody annoying thing is that it boots up fine from scratch just
not on the restart command

Please please throw some light on this its doing my head in

Thank you

Hello
I did not see where you installed the OS before or after
you changed motherboard & ram if you just replaced them
from a working system you might try a repair install with
a new activation and see if that does it. You might want
to backup any info. but it should be alright.
Hope this helps

Only a hunch mind you, but I would recheck the panel connectors on your motherboard. Especially the one that runs to the power switch. It may have popped off or polarity is backwards.
