I have a EP45-UD3P which is working well but one issue. While surfing internet, just had a quick power failure and power went back on after about one second. However, without any intervention on my part the computer just went into a repeated cycle of trying to power up (fans + front case light) on and off over and over again without posting. I shut it off by holding the front case power button for a few seconds and then unplugged the cord on the power supply for a few seconds. When I plugged the cord back in and pressed the front case power button the computer started normally. Why didn't it just stay off after the outage and why did I have to remove the power cord to get it to successfully power up?
FYI: I have AC Back Function in BIOS set to Soft-Off.

Hi
Just a glitch. Often the CMOS gets corrupted and requires it to be reset after this sort of occurance. It appears that you were lucky in that a complete power down fixed it for you.
