Pressing reset button hangs PC?!?

[newpz]

Hi all-
I am truly stumped about a problem that I am having with a new machine I just built. When I soft reset (through Windows, CTL-ALT-DEL, press reset on the case, etc.) the monitor goes black and the computer just hangs there, requiring me to turn it off and on again to reboot (holding the power for four secs. does shut it down). This happens every single time I reset (other than physically turning the power on and off). Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is a faulty motherboard?? I hope this is not the case though, as the board is brand new.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Winbl_ws in notorious for startup/shutdown problems. I have found drivers at fault in a lotl of the systems I have serviced for this problem--quite often mouse drivers - remove anda then reinstall w/ the latest download of drivers.. Also go to this web site for MUCH more info re startup/shtdown problems, etc.: Windows Support Center . Good luck.
