Hi all, have my system as in Sig below. only problem is when i built it i though id stick some lights in to make it look pretty but never use them to be honest. BUT when i do turn them on my pc 9 times out of 10 reboots for some reason.

Any idea why ? normal UV and blue cathode etc tubes, on a switch, PSU is a hyper type R. Could it be drawing to many volts/amps from the PSU and safety wise, the psu is cautious and reboots as i am at a loss why this is ?


Thank you
 
Sounds like a short somewhere, could also be one of the switches on the case.

Motherboard riser touching something it shouldnt, or the molex / actual cathode shorting on the case, as remember the psu acts as a earth when it is screwed in.
