New PSU means computer is rebooting after shutdown

Hey all,

Just installed my new 750W Modular corsair PSU and am having a strange issue where whenever i shut the computer down it automatically restarts no matter what I do e.g. shut down via start menu, power button from windows, power button from BIOS etc. I put my old PSU back it and the issue goes away.

The motherboard is an abit IP35 Pro

Ideas anyone?

Hmmm, I was thinking of replacing the motherboard and CPU anyway and have a bit of money left over at the end of this month. Should a different motherboard remedy this?

Went for the Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard after some googling which turned up no issues

Thanks for the help!
