System runs beautifully when its on. However, I cannot restart it, from reset switch on front panel or through windows restart, or if I go into bios and save something then restart still it won't work. I have to manually turn off the computer and then turn back on. I get constant beeps about 4-5 seconds apart when I attempt a restart. I have tried clearing cmos, unplugging my ram, trying one ram stick, switching channels and I have no clue what it is. ANyone have some suggestions? Please leave good instructions since I would have tried it if I knew how to do it. =)
Thanks guys.

give us some details on the system..... it could be a bad board, the front panel connectors could be hooked up wrong, etc..... at this point it could be anything.

do you have any other memory you could throw in there?

remove all cables from the front panel connectors

then use a pencil or screwdriver to jump start the pc... If this fails - the board or other component is @ cause

doubble check your boards manual to make sure you have connected it correctly

This can also be a "lazy" screw... where something is causing a short circuit... could be something @ the back of your board?

If it does startup -> then you have it wired incorrectly..

test with 1 stick of ram, try different slots and sticks
remove all HDD's and CDROMS etc.
Will it then boot into your bios?

i have tried different mem slots, one stick, reconnecting frontpanel. I can get into bios no problem but even from bios screen i have to manually turn it off and on.

I'd go with what Capper says.. test with different ram.

[teer]

thats what i am thinking. but i dont have any other ram. nor can i afford any. any other suggestions?

changed the mem to 333 and it works smooth.
