well I have gone threw 4 power supplies and one mobo so i know thats not the problem. When i plug in the new power supply it works and as soon as i shut it down it wont start up, sometimes even on the new power supplies i have to press the power switch alot of times to get it started. I'm so fed up with using my sisters computer until i get my power supply sent in the mail.... ive gone threw 2 Antec 450w and 2 earth watt 500w. I have 2 options 1. Find out the problem. 2. Junk it.
 
That's odd. Have you considered a problem with the outlet you are plugging into? I'm sorry that I can't tell you the specific workings of how it happens, but my ex-roommate was an electrician and I remember him saying something about if a wall outlet is wired half-assed, it will cause all sorts of problems to the immediate item plugged in (battery backup, surge protector, etc.) Could be screwing with your PSU in this case.

Nice car. Supras may own all, but Firebirds go to heaven;)
 
Motherboard. Really sounds like that. Otherwise, you're overloading that PSU. An low amperage PSU on an SLi'd or QX processor will suck lots.
 
I don't know if other people are having an issue like me with this board. Its happen 2 me twice with this board and twice with the original (same model).
