Computer will not soft reset

[daverules]

I have a problem with my brother's computer. Simply, it refuses to soft reset. I can press the Reset button, and it will work. But windows will not restart on it's own. I also cannot restart when I make changes to the bios. The computer will just sit there, with power going through, all the fans running, but it won't do anything. It's almost like it's asleep, and won't wake up. I can then, either shut it off, or do a hard reset with the reset button. Here's the specs:

AMD Thunderbird 1.2
FIC AD11 w/ current BIOS (I think)
Geforce2 GTS Ultra
SB Live! X
Tekram SCSI card
Plextor 40x ultra plex
2 IDE HDDs
NIC

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i had a similar problem w/ a computer i built... completely different except for the cpu...
just out of curiosity try setting the fsb and the ram speed to 100MHz... see if it works then, then get back to me... cuz if you can lick this on ur computer maybe mine had the same problem...

thanks
