So firstly I have a 8800GTS and a 7800GTX, the 8 running a 22' and the other a 19', last week the 8 series died so now 7 series running both screens, now at the time of the fault I didnt know it was the gfx died, thought it was a PSU about to blow up or HD failure, reset bios by taking the battery out and all hd's and testing them on another hd...end result yes it was gfx, so plug it all back in and all hunky dorry apart from lagg in games n videos, now the biggest problem and so bloody annoying is that when i sleep the pc or shut down...turns back on again after 3 secs or so...


So question is what could be causing this? I've check bios and wake on lan stuff and nout, so I'm stuck! :confused:
 
Sorry to revive this old thread but I'm still stuck on this issue, nothing else has changed, cept I use Hibernate instead of Sleep now, turned off Wake On Lan, no nudges of mouse or keyboard, litteraly just click shut down or Hib, it'll switch back on in a few secs, very annoying as I have to wait till it's all off then switch the off button on the PSU (Corsair)...


So yes any ideas? maybe a wire crossed accidentally or taken out on the mobo?
