Hey,

I just installed a Cold Cathode Tube earlier today with a switch mounted on the back of my case. When i move the switch a little too much my whole computer shuts off and the power light in the front blinks. The only way to get it back on is to remove the power cable from the PSU and then plug it back in. Any suggestions?

A power light in the front flashing usually means your computer went into sleep mode, whether S1 or S3. Might help, you might have triggered a sleep button in the case, maybe.
