I have an X-Blade Case and the Reset button is flashing red. Tried googling but I can't seem to find the reason why?

Here are the details of the case http://www.outletpc.com/c0718.html.

I only bought a new PSU a couple of months a decent one it cost £80 a 750 Watt Silent Energy Efficient One.

Its a Quad Core, 4 gigs ram, 500 gig hard drive and Nvidia 8500GT Graphics.

Does anyone know what is happening here? Its a bit worrying flashing red lights?

I have reset it and turned it on and off but its still flashing red?

How long has it been doing this? Did you hook the leads up to your mobo correctly?

As far as know everything is correctly wired. I bought it from Bess Systems from Ebay in the UK. BigKen from the Ubuntu Forums runs his own PC Company he checked it over for me when I first got it, the next very day actually. He lives down the road from me. I met him through the forums:) Its only 6 months old. Its had a new PSU as Ken said that was the only thing wrong with it, a rubbish PSU.

I have just moved my desk so unsure how long this has been going on? Plan to buy it a new case and better graphics card in the next 10 days.

I sure it can't be the PSU. My huge IT Dept at work fitted it as I favour again I am sure they would have noticed the wiring too.

But the red light is worrying?

I have to say it was cheap so I don't mind upgrading it as necessary

Honestly, I've never heard of a reset button with a light, muchless a flashing light. It may be possible that the light is an activity light.

Recommendation: If you plan on upgrading your case in the near future, I would recommend a good Thermaltake case. I've got a Xaser V series and this thing rocks.
