Question Delayed reset button action.

[pauljurczak]

I have an unstable PC, which crashes once a day with a white or uniform color screen. Most likely power supply problem - the replacement is in the mail. The strange part is that I have to hold the reset button for 10-15s to cause reboot. Is there any meaning of this unusual behavior? My system: Intel i5-9600K, 32GB DDR4 2666, Asus PRIME B360M-A, 2x HP EX920 1TB, MediaPC MP-500 power supply, Ubuntu 22.04. BTW, when the system runs normally, reset button action is immediate.

this could be reason reboot is slow?

Seems to me that if you getting a new PSU, it is the one you replacing that causing reset to be slow.

if its still slow after swapping PSU, then we could look at it.

Well, I installed the new power supply and the problem persists. The last run with old p.s. was about 3 days, and 5 days with the new p.s. It took 16 s holding the reset button for the system to start resetting. I've run MemTest and Furmark with no problems. Any clues?
