Power Off issue
Hi there. Trying to figure out a new motherboard ASUS M4A78LT-M with a 3-core Athlon CPU, running windows 7 64bit. I had never had this problem before on other PCs. When I press the power off button on the front, it automatically restarts the PC after a few seconds. The only way to keep it 'off' is to turn off the powersupply switch in the back. I have tried every setting in Windows, in BIOS. Nothing helps. What I am left with is the connector on the board itself. There is a 2 pin connector called 'PWRSW' described as ATX power button/soft-off button in the manual. Should it be connected at all? If not, how will the front switch act when I press it? Thanks in advance for your help.
