Hey guys,
I'm soooooooo close to powering up my scratch build, but of course have run into an issue that I can't figure out.
I bought this switch from PPCs: Pre-Wired Delrin Vandal Resistant Illuminated Switches 16mm Black - Sleeved
I'm using it as a power switch, and have read that momentary (not toggle) is what I want for that, so that's what I ordered.
HOWEVER, now that everything's hooked up & ready to go, it won't power up the machine. When I press the button, the comp powers on for 3-4 seconds, then shuts down. It does this repeatedly (on, off, on, off in 3 second increments) until I cut power or long-press the button to turn it off.
Any ideas what's wrong? I tested the mobo already and know that works. Halp!
TIA
