Weird Restart Issue

So I recently finished building a PC with parts I strung together from ebay and local used sites (and also what parts I already had lying around) and I managed to  build an alright little system. The specs are an i5 3330 CPU, 8gb ddr3 1866mhz ram, an HD 7770 gpu, and an asus  P8H61-I LX R2 motherboard. Now after 2 attempts of installing windows 10 (first try ended with a boot error after 2 days) I finally have it working with a lot of my steam library already installed. The problem I've discovered is I cannot get the system to restart in any way, the system can shut down fine but if I restart the PC through windows, through the bios or even with the physical reset switch on the case the screen goes black, all the fans spin to 100% and it refuses to do anything until I cut off the power. The system powers up okay but because i cant restart/reset the PC so I cant save any changes in the bios such as ram speed changes. Frankly I'm stumped, anyone ever had this issue and or a possible fix? Thanks

Reset CMOS, then take RESET_SW and POWER_SW out and back in. Blow off any dust if there is any.
