I am building a new comp. with the ecs board and an enlight case. Had problem with product key code in os, did cont/alt/del, then rebooted. I then depressed power button and comp failed to shut off. It took about four attempts before comp turned off. I checked bios and the keyboard power up is disabled. I am stumped

Did you just push the power button or hold it down? Most new mobos will have you power off after holding the button down for 4-6 seconds. Try that....

did you hold the power button down for about 5 seconds? most new computers require that to turn off
