Z270F can't be shut down completely when holding down POWER button

I recently upgrade my PC with Z270F and KBL 7700K. I notice that when I need to shut down my computer with the physical POWER button on my chassis (in case I get BSOD or frozen), holding it down will turn off the system, but then in a split second the system start up again. If I release the button, the system is restarted. However, if I keep holding the button even longer, it will shut down eventually, but it is annoying because even holding the button longer, the fans and light inside the case already turn on briefly before they actually shut down.

I checked the connection, I have connected the cable correctly according to the manual. In the BIOS, I tried to hunt down the power management option so I can change it, but it seems only affect in case the power failure. I am still on stock BIOS (0505 I believe), should I update my BIOS? I heard the newest version give some high voltage when using XMP profile. Everything else is on stock atm.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the advice, I am planning to upgrade to 0906, but seeing some people in this forum claim that its a little buggy, so I am still holding off. Also, everything is running with stock setting now, no XMP at the moment.

You mentioned upgrading. Are you using the previous OS?

Also please list your complete system specifications for me. 🙂

Yes it is. Like I said, I haven't tweaked anything yet.

I only have Intel RST installed, no AI Suite.
