(Maybe I missed some of this thread but) in WindowsXP Power Options,
Advanced, you can set the Power Switch action to something more friendly
for your needs.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The computer cuts off(dead no more action) if I miss and touch the power
button..I have to start it back up again...

check the BIOS power settings; should be a choice there for function of
pressing your power button. I don't have this board, but my A7V266E's BIOS
has this choice.

Then your computer is broken.

If you are running Windows XP, the power button should close all your
programs, tell you it's shutting down and then power off the computer.

If it just "goes off" immediately, your mainboard is broken or your kicking
the power switch on the back of the PC on the power supply.

I think that the 3sec off switch "RTO/RTF" is hard coded and as such you
shouldnt have this problem..<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The computer is not broken,some bios manuals explain how to do this.it's a
simple click on the four second pause before shut off item.but I don't see
it in my manual nor in the bios..I just thought I was missing it somewhere

Like I said there is a setting in a lot of bioses that give the option of 4
second pause or 1 second<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
