Z400 W3565 12gb v2
After market PSU 450W
Is there a reason why it powers on as soon as I plug in power cable?
Unable to turn off with pin 5+6. Do not have original case so uncertain of front panel pins. Just by Google finding.
Once unplug(turn off) PSU, battery must be reset before I can turn on again.

in the future please consider reading a items service manual/documentation before doing anything else
your ready fire aim method of assuming that all motherboards use a ATX power supply is incorrect
the z400 uses a NON STANDARD power supply pinout that is not ATX compatible, and by connecting such a supply you are applying the wrong voltages to the wrong pins which will damage the motherboard and/or power supply
you can buy premade adapters for the z400 which allow connecting a ATX supply in place of the propriety HP pwr supply
