1 question and 1 problem with new build.

First the problem: The Mobo has a 3 pin connection for the power button, but the case came with two. There is a blank space on the Mobo in the middle slot. Any quick fix that I'm not thinking about? I'm sure there is.

Now the question: When the system is off and I turn it on. It does some sort of "test?" The CPU fan goes full throttle for about 3-4 seconds. Then the system cuts off, and turns on as normal. Normal thing now? Thanks.

oh yeah, MoBo is the Abit IP35 and the case if matters is the Cooler Master RC-690.

1) You have a 2pin housing but a 3pin connector... this is for the PWR_LED (NOT the PWR_BTN), right? Do you have any old cases layin around? If so, grab a 3pin housing from its FP connectors and swap it out. Alternatively, you could buy one.

2) Thats known as the dual boot issue. Update your BIOS to the latest version and that should fix it.

Yeah sorry, the Power LED not the button. I'll check in the old cases.

Awesome, I'll get the new bio and everything.

Thanks.
