on board power button
« on: November 26, 2013, 03:20:21 pm »
MB: GA-Z68XP-UD5 LGA 1155

In the past couple of days I needed to re-install Win7 and update all drivers. Now my computer will not turn on unless I press the on-board power button. Once the computer is running and I turn it off for a few minutes,  it will start up using the power button on the case. Now, this morning after I shut down last night, I had to reach in and press the on-board button again and using my power on button on my case, it fired right up.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

One thing you can try is remove the plug from the front panel for the power button. Then try to use a small screw driver and short out the two pins.

If it starts up on every try doing it that way than you have a problem with the start button. If doesn't start than you might have a problem with board with those pins.

I understand what your saying about the case power button, but shouldn't the on-baord power button always be lit when the computer is shut down.

I can't really answer that one. It has been some time when the last time I ran a motherboard with a power button.
