NF7-S won't power down

[KaGee]

Try to power off, machine powers off for a brief second, then powers up and reboots again.

If you pull the plug, reset bios, the machine will power down properly for a time or two then go crazy again.
Other than this, board is terrific.

Any ideas?????

Time to use this

Okay, okay, if you don't believe me then read this: Similar problem?

Edit: I don't know what OS you're using, but at some point there was apparently a power down problem with 98/98SE: 98/98SE power down bug

Here's what another site says about rebooting instead of powering down:

Booting and rebooting ? What to do when Windows reboots instead of shutting down
All Windows versions

On certain machines exiting Windows lands you in a "reboot loop" instead of turning off the computer. To fix this, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
and set the DWORD CleanShutdown to 1 instead of 0.

Here's a web page with a bunch of links to articles on shutdown/reboot problems:

Thanks DahDee.

That is the most info I've got on this one.
I'll let y ou know if the reg patch works, if not guess
it will be on the phone with NewEgg for an RMA.

Really hat eo tear it down and send back

Well the Registry edit thingy did not do any good.

Guess I'll be calling NewEgg on Monday.

BTW, the first link in the first reply is a dead on.:brokenheart:

Sorry to hear that, KaGee.

I guess I messed up the link somehow; it was actually a link to the RMA form at Newegg (I was just guessing).

Newegg RMA form.

After going to several different sites, the power supply pops up as being the culprit more than not. I have done a variety of windows registry mods just to see if it was a software issue or driver issue which can cause this reboot loop problem.
Still no progress.

Newegg had a 24 hour sale yesterday. I was gonna order a powersupply but check this out:
MY NEW ANTEC CASE

The SL350 PSU was gonna cost $49.00 shipped. This case came with the SL350, was on sale yesterday for $65.00 shipped. $16.00 more and I got a neat case!

If the powersupply does not fix the problem, it's RMA for sure for the mobo.

Problem solved. New power supply fixed the reboot loop issue.
