Won't reboot warm
 

Running

XP2700+
1GB OCZ Gold PC2700 RAM
SOYO DRAGON KT400 Platinum Ultra (BIOS revision unknown)
Radeon 9700 Pro
WDC 200GB (on RAID)
Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 40GB
Seagate 40GB
Audigy 2 Platinum Ex
XP Pro
Sony DRU-510A (fixed!)
Relisys DVD-ROM
Chieftec case
Antec SmartPower 460W

My problem is this; If I do something that necessitates a warm reboot (make
a change to the BIOS, install a driver, use System Restore, whatever) then
the system will shut down but will not reboot (usually there are two POST
beeps about 5 seconds apart). I can leave it in such a state for 15 minutes
and that's how it will stay - monitor blank, though the hard drives and
fans, etc are working. I am required to hit the reset button in order for it
to POST. My only thought is that there is a voltage set incorrectly
somewhere in the BIOS but, I'm not sure what to change. It's just come back
from a 'service' with the company I purchased most of the parts from.
Everything's set to 'optimised defaults' (it's an Award BIOS). I'm wondering
if it's something to do with memory timings and that the voltage for the RAM
is set incorrectly (i.e. default should be something else, such as 1.7v).
Unfortunately, their tech support guy's in the Caribbean for a month and no
one else has much of a clue about anything.

Could someone assist me with this abnormal state of affairs? I'm sure
hitting the restart constantly can't be too healthy!

Thanks
