Thread: Problem with PC powering down

For one, you really shouldn't be using stock radio wires for a CarPC; they usually aren't rated high enough for the amps a carpc can draw, and you're risking an electrical fire there.

As to why it's restarting and not shutting down, it wouldn't suprise me if you're pulsing the power wire from something else that's on the same power line as the radio harness (check your car manual to see what else is on that fuse, for example.) Some things in a car, like the guages or the heater fan, can pulse a charge back once the ignition is turned off which, however small, might be confusing your m2-atx.

so i should try another acc. location?

Do you have the pins from the m2 to the mobo going to the power button and not the reset button?

i am running the power wire from the battery. As for the acc. wire.. when i remove the wire from the keyed acc spot.. it shuts down like it should but if i do it with the key it restarts.. i double checked the pins and all is good
