I have an Asus P8Z68 Pro gen3 motherboard.
I have finally narrowed this problem down to the board.
Board works perfectly with no issues once running, but if it is turned off after about 2 - 5 minutes it won't power back on, the power button just turns on the integrated reset button and nothing else happens.
either unplugging the power lead for a few minutes or disconnecting the 24 pin adaptor "resets" the motherboard and it is able to boot again.
If I put it in to standby it will fire up straight away as well.
I have tried different PSUs, different ram, different CPU, different/no GPU. all does the same.
Tried a different motherboard and the problem went away.
is this fixable or should I just bin it ?
