Maximus Formula RESET problem

[pardini]

Hi all,

My maximus formula reset button don't work correctly !!!

When I press reset button the mother board turn off the power suppliy, wait about 3 or 4 seconds then turn on again (like a cold boot).

My config
Q9450, gskill ddr2 pc2-800 (2x2giga)
Power: Thermaltake PurePower RX Cable Management 600W

I tried:
- BIOS update, with AFUDOS /pcbn (1102, 1201)
- Clean BIOS with cmos button (a lot of times)
- Drop out battery (8 hour)
- I tested my board out of case too

nothing worked ... 🙁

Any helps ?

That's what it is supposed to do. It should also have reset your bios settings.

hello,

Let me try explain .... the reset button should do a warm boot system, in my case when I press the reset button (the button is on the side of power button on top of mother board) the system turn off and then (after 4 seconds of power off) turn on again. Im my other systems when I press reset button the system immediately restart without turn off anything.

Other issue, any restart command (XP or VIsta restart command) dont work, ctrl-alt-del on DOS dont-work too... the system apparently does logoff but dont restart.

it seems both my new Asus boards do that, my older boards do it the way you explain it

Have you noticed if the settings in bios are resetting each time? Mine only does what you describe when I turn off the power supply (when I'm installing hardware) or make a bios change when I save and exit the bios, it does what you describe, powers off for a few seconds but of course then re-starts.
Although you say it does not come back on on Ctrl, Alt, Del? Hmmm....can't help but think it some ATX power management setting in the bios or operating system snafu with the power management.
For the reset button I would double check the way you have hooked up the wires from the reset button to the mobo.
