Have you got a Battery Backup Module installed?
If so, is it activating on a restart? D13 will light and the speaker on the BBM will beep. In that case the BBM could be holding corupt data in the cache ram, which would cause it to reboot every 300seconds.
Try the restart without the BBM.

Its not a real hassle, just can't restart windows. I am waiting for responce from acera!

Gazzaspi Jun 1, 2011 12:16 AM (in response to fred tyler)Hi Fred
I was having trouble with my 1880ix16 and BBM, (i Know you dont have it) It was corupting the cache ram on a power fail test.
Areca sent me a link to their beta firmware build 20110218, that fixed it for me.
Controller Name ARC-1880 Firmware Version V1.49 2011-02-18 BOOT ROM Version V1.49 2011-02-18 PL Firmware Version 8.0.1.0 Gary

Glad its sorted. Will be running PPBM5 tonight.
