My board does the one second restart deal as well, however i have a second issue. Basically i have to cut the power to the power supply for a few seconds for it to boot, otherwise i just get a black screen when i try to boot up. I basically cut the power, wait a few seconds, then boot with the on, off, on boot process as described in this post.
Question#1 - does anyone else also have the issue where they have to drain the power. I have seen this on other forums.
Question#2 - do you think this behavior could have negative effects on the life of components.. or is it just annoying?
either way it is kind of a pain, and has caused me to waste several hours searching for a solution.
Thanks ;)
