Update: The Button I used before for testing got a loose connector during disassembly - so that work. So i am pretty sure I just didnt touch the pins right with the screwdriver in that thight build. A pattern I can now safely say reaccures every shotdown is: 1:Turn of via PSU switch 2. The mainboard tries to start resulting in a short flicker of the leds as power doesnt suffice for anything more 3. Returning power via the PSU leads to the Mainboard lights turning back on again. Pressing the powerbutton on the case doesnt work 4 Repeating turning of the PSU waiting until mainboard lights turn of - turn PSU on again - Powerbutton works like a charm. (Another interesting thing is that I have turned of most of the mainboards lights via BIOS and after proper start the turn off) Does it make sense to put in a new battery? Motherboard is a mini ITX asus z170i pro Gaming with a i7 6700k CPU and where i turn off the PC doesnt matter at all - same results

Waterccoling is not leaking I made sure of that. The computer is what doesn't shut down. Pump seems to be allright. I took Windows out of the mix by booting a live Linux OS from an USB stick - same results. So I guess its the motherboard - what else could it be. Update to the power button issue. Shorting pins didnt work. But Ncases button does. Smells like i'm doing something wrong but theres not much to do wrong at that point...

Thanks for your reply. Tried out another RAM and PSU now. Still nothing changed. Something else seems rather strange to me... Tried connecting a switch I got from another case and it didn't start at all.. Started again with the Ncases switch. That makes no sense to me. So my guess at the moment is either the Mainboard is faulty or the switch. I'll try the screwdriver thing next to make sure that works.

Hi Guys! I finally (almost) finished my NCASE M1 Build. I did a lot of Custom Sleeving and Stuff like that. In a later upgrade i would like to make the external radiator optional for better transportation. But now to my issue. Everything works... Except actually powering the thing off. Tried everything I could find. New Bios, all the Windows Crap there is (and there is a lot!!!) nothing worked. When i click power off it turns off also the lights but 2 to 3 seconds later it boots as if i had pressed the button. Only PSU switch helps. I hope somebody has an idea before I have to rip it apart again for testing the individual components...
