Thanks that did the trick. Might be a useful thing at somepoints though as another pain with this motherboard is when trying to install a new bios from a usb memory stick. Only after power is cut and restored to the motherboard is the usb stick detected before boot up. With the power reset at restart the USB stick is picked up each time and can be booted from.

But it is nice to know how to turn the power reset at restart off again.....

Thanks again...
