Help computer wont shutdown GA-P35C-DSR3

[fishleg]

No idea whats up guess theres always something with new computers....

Anyway I built this machine,
GA-P35C-DSR3
2 Gigs 6400 ram
Geforce 8600
Q6600
Enermax 535w Psu

Ooo and a Zalman 9700 led cooler.

Was working fine wiped the sweat off my head then realised when I came to shut down after installing windows that it booted straight back up... so thought must of clicked restart tried again same thing and again. Even if i power off in the bios which instantly shuts down the pc few secs later the pc starts back up again.

Any body got any clues ?

I thought it was the front panel wired up wrong but I double checked through trial and error so it doesnt seem to be that.

Please help....
fishy

I noticed in the bios my ram timings where wrong 5 - 5 - 5 - 18 instead of 4 - 4 - 4 - 12 but it doesnt say what voltage the ram is currently at so didnt wanna risk it not booting up at all.

Just gives settings to change the V +1 +2 +3 +4 but it doesnt say the current V ><.

Surely its nothing to do with that ? The Mboard is on F2 bios there is an F4 but its in beta.

Also my PSU has a 10/12 pin adaptor plus an 12v for the cpu my mboard says either 10 or 12 pin so i plugged all of them in the 12 pin and the 12v for the cpu, that ok ?

I updated to the beta bios and reset the settings exactly the same .

Up for trying anything at this point, what would cause a computer to turn itself on after it shuts down >< ?

You have any BIOS options that tell it to startup after power failure? I had this happen once a while back and a BIOS update fixed it eventually.

go into the power setting within windows itself. my other inclination is the bios... well... the bios is my first inclination.

I normally put my computers into sleep mode... then the freakin cat decides to dance on the keyboard, turning it back on

Well I'm bamboozled totally. For some reason it wouldnt boot just wouldnt get to post shortly after I changed the V for the ram to +1 so I reset the CMOS and from that point forward it worked perfectly =/ so far any how....

I guess it was shorting on a loose wire or something as it could of been me moving the case to reset the cmos or it could of been the cmos.. oh god .

I used the dividers thing so the motherboard isnt just resting on the case. I tripple checked the front panel just had the power switch connected unconnected all fans except cpu.

Scared of opening the case again now for the fear of electric shock or blowing my computer up ><. Its working should I just leave it well alone now ?

Anyone know if it could of been the cmos as thats really the only thing I did besides moving the case to get it working.... If anyone knows a good freeware hardware monitor as the gigabyte one seems to suck.
