How do I stop the power from going off then on when I restart the computer?
I have an ASUS P5WD2 PREMIUM mobo.

Someone with the same mobo as me said that this is normal? Is there a way around this?

Thanks

???

My old computer didn't cut the power when it restarted. So why does this happen with my new pc with this mobo?

^Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

I'm talking about going to start>turn off computer> restart in windows xp. How do I stop the power from cutting off then on? My old pc kept the power on when restarting!!!

Does anyone with the same mobo as me experience the same problem?

I think I found the problem, if you have the fsb greater than 240, the power shuts off when restarting.

I'm just not sure why it does this.

I guess it's just normal:
