Hey guys - got my eXpert board in yesterday and finally got it installed. Everything went without a hitch, turned right on and set up perfect. Its rock solid, great board. Only one strange problem. When i shut the system down, i tried to turn it back on a little while later and it came on for about 5 seconds then shut itself down. It repeated that every time i pressed power. So i threw the breaker on the PSU to cut power, waited 5 seconds, and put it back on. Pressed the power button and it fired right up, and now i'm posting this. Its so strange because the baord is perfect with the exception of that..its running rock solid, granted i'm at stock, but theres not even a hint of instability. Anyone else experience this problem or have any clue how to fix? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

sounds like a powersupply issue... they seem to follow the dfi boards. I'd do some more tests, like see how many times you can power down and restart in a row, and if the only way it will restart is to turn off the power supply, wait, then turn it back on, then i'd say you found your problem (the board or the powersupply).
