24 pin extension causing reset

[s0lidace]

So i have a cablemod 24 pin extension, I've checked like 5x and made sure each cable is plugged in correctly. However when I use it and turn off my pc it turns back on again. I've realised that there is no pin 20 on my power supply. So I'm guessing I just remove pin 20 from the extension? Can anyone tell me why this pin isn't used?

What? Can you explain more? Is there like a pin missing?

Use a multi-meter to probe and check to make sure all the pins are getting proper connection and voltages. The missing pin is the -5V pin that is not used anymore.

Every 24 pin connector actually has only 23 pins that are used but if the pin is present on the extension it would not cause the problem you are experiencing. This is most likely a settings issue either in the BIOS or Windows.

The bottom is the psu 24 pin cable, top is the extension . As you can see pin 20 isn't used. I was wondering is this what is causing my pc to reset?

Woops, pic not uploading from my cellphone. Well anyway if it's not because of the extra pin on the extension then I must have done a shitty job of plugging the cables in
