Had this Mobo for a while as main computer.
Over the past half year, every several days, the screen would just go blank.
But today it automatically did a complete systematic shutdown all by itself.
( i mused over the thought that it might be a hacker shutting it down)
When i turned it back on the fan 'cycles' from normal to high speed (you can hear it)
So i pulled out the graphics card and swapped the PSU - Same story
Then i checked out the power plug at the front panel connecter area, and noticed that it turned the computer on when i reconnected it.
So i measured it's resistance - 2000k
(Didn't think that these momentary power buttons could develop a low resistance fault)
Used another power switch, which tested good - but the fan still 'cycles' and no BIOS beep.
It also wont shut down by holding in the power button.
Any clues as to what's going on here?
