I own a new PC (i13700,gigabyte970,ram) and have reused some recently installed parts like a 1000w PSU/M2, SSD/2xRTX GPU etc. The issue is that when I shut down the machine it seems to shut down but the power LED stays on and the system won’t boot or force reset from the power button. A quick unplug and holding the power button for 30 seconds doesn’t fix it; it needs at least 10 minutes of disconnection before it powers up properly. I’m wondering about the internal mechanisms of the motherboard and CPU regarding how modern hardware handles forced shutdowns and resets. Does the motherboard force shutdown depend on the CPU?

You should be able to remove the power source and press and hold the power button, though this doesn't always succeed. 1) Does your motherboard have a physical reset button? Some of the newer models do. Could you provide the exact make and model so we can better understand your setup?

Did you possibly link the PWR button to the reset header on the motherboard and the reset button to the power header? That's a common oversight.

I don't think so, when the unit is powered on I can force a power off and then start the pc normally. I haven't connected the reset header...

Double check the correct PWR pins by aligning the empty pin position on the header. I believe connecting to the reset pins would produce symptoms similar to what you mentioned. Perhaps try linking the reset cable to the power buttons instead. Sometimes the front panel cables lack clear markings. Or, you could attempt to power on by shorting the two power pins using a screwdriver.

Hi, I've adjusted the PWR SW pins to their proper positions and confirmed that nothing is connected to the reset pins on the motherboard. Regarding whether a hard reset from power is managed by the CPU or the motherboard chipset, I don't have specific details on that configuration.

Hi
@hedwar2011
I seem to have overlooked your reply. It's a Gigabyte z790 aorus elite ax mb. It includes a hardware reset SW on the MB, which operates identically to the one in the case.
