Hello! I've recently built a new PC for my dad which includes a Gigabyte MA77OT-UD3P, an Amd x2 550, 4gb crucial ballistix Ram and a coolermaster switching power 460W PSU. The problem is that whenever I shut down the machine, I cannot turn it on again without first removing the power cable, then reinserting it and then pressing 'on'. Any ideas, it's pretty annoying to have a problem like this on a new build and want to get it sorted. If you need any more system specs just holler. Cheers.

Well I've finally narrowed it down to the attaching of the PSU fan monitor to the motherboard. As soon as I remove this, the problem goes away...Is this a problem and why is it happening?

The only connection I can think of between the PSU fan monitor and the motherboard booting up would be the Negative or grounding connection.
I presume the fan monitor cable only has the middle speed-adjusting wire, right? Or does it have all three wires (red, black and usually yellow in the middle). Does the fan run when the monitor isn't connected?
