    No probem. I understand that you don't want to damage your case. However, I've had a thought and there is a workaround. It involves using a relay.

    I can see exactly how your idea can be implemented. But it involves considerable amount of hardware modification which makes me hesitate to proceed.
    I appreciate your trying to help me but if this is the only solution I would rather do without reset switch or unplug the reset cable from the mobo. And if I still want to have the reset functionality, then I would install a reset switch in an empty slot-tab on the rear of the chassis.

    That's OK. I rarely, if ever, use the reset switch on my system.

    I agree... I used to use reset with XP and Vista... but Win7 doesnt lock up! If it ever did you can shut down by holding most power buttons in for 10+ seconds! Just lose the reset switch if it runs properly disconnected.

    I tried the ferrite core but no dice.

    I finally got hold of tech support of Cooler Master and he said the I/O panel is defective. A replacement of the I/O panel(where the reset switch, the pwr switch, eSata connector, etc are held) is going to be sent to me. I will post back.

    Hopefully, that will solve this most unusual problem.

    Not that unusual, Antec had a similar problem with the Sonata III when it first came out,

    Grounding problem - Antec Sonata III - Confirmed w/cust support - New-System-Build - Homebuilt-Systems

    PCQandA.com - Viewing topic #480007 - Concern/Warning regarding Antec Sonata III ESD Reported

    that has since been fixed, I know mine doesn't have the problem and never has.

    Thanks for the info, Richard. I'd not come across this before.

    Was one of those things I came across before I bought mine, and also saw that it had been fixed.

    Also found this,

    Please help wierd restart issue! - General-Homebuilt - Homebuilt-Systems

    and it sure looks like the same problem that churin is having.
