Re: Soyo Dragon Cannot Restart After Shutdown

The motherboard was fine for maybe a year. it suddently started behaving like this .. I have already tried using a new PSU (450W I don't know the model). There is nothing else besides an AGP video card. I will see if there is any newer BIOS and also try with a different video card.

If nothing works then I might just have to put a sticker "Please turn off the machine from the power strip after shutdown" :-)

Hi, I have been question which might or might not be related to capacitors (cause I didn't find any bad ones). The issue I am having with my Soyo Plus Dragon 2 motherboard is that once I do a shutdown it won't start up. After some investigation I realized that the red standby LED on the motherboard does not come up after shutdown. I beleive ATX PSU always give the 5V supply. I tested this with a different new power supply and received same symptom. The only way to restart is to plug the power cable out, wait for 10 seconds and then start the computer.

Any ideas ?
