well i just bought my new motherboard...ill be honest that i did rush the installing of this thing..i did take time(to route cables and such) but not as much time as normal..but as soon as i got it up and running, i noticed that,just rebootin it from windows it hangs..doesnt even post the bios..but when i power it down completely..then turn it back on..it works...had this issue before a long time ago...forgot how i fixed it tho..any ideas on what could be causing that?

Power Management in the bios? It is my understanding that it can be configured to behave unexpectedly upon shutdown or reboot.

That would be a good place to start. Flip the jumper to reset the bios and see it will restart normally. gl.

I once had a board with symptoms similar to your and it was a mainboard grounding problem. I lost a screw under the board and it was wedged between the board and the case. I am not saying this is your problem, but make sure nothing is touching the board underneath.
