I've seen plenty of startup issues with this MB. I'm having an issue during a restart. If I choose shutdown, the system shuts down just fine. But if I choose to restart, I'll lose video but my HD light stays on along with PSU and fans, etc. I then have to hold the power button for a couple of seconds to shut everything off. Once I restart, things are fine. This is a real hassle when installing software that restarts on it's own. Thanks for your help in advance!! -don
