Got a problem I'm not sure about. Building a system here and when I shut it down it won't start up again untill I pull the power cord and plug it back in. I'm thinking this is a Power supply problem. It is an older case and it is only a 200 watt power supply and I'm putting it on a PIII. This could also be a mainboard problem. But once It's running it runs great. Reboots fine too. Help me decide. Have a new case coming anyhow. Also noticing that the CDrom isn't opening all the time. That could be the cdrom. It tries but won't.
:confused:

What Mother Board are you running that P3 in ?
How many other devices ?

200 WATT Power supply is VERY small..

Is this a True ATX power supply and Mother board
Or a mix AT power supply and combo AT/ATX mother board ?

ATX is Soft power control AT isn't

The mainboard is a tyan 1854a. Disabled the sound and now running a Geforce 2 mx 400 64mb, Modem, intel net card, sound blaster live x-gamer, Cdrom, and floppy. The power supply is in a gateway case. aztec ATX202-3515 so it is a true ATX supply.

I wouldn't use anything less than a 300watt for what you're doing.

Oh, also make sure the power supply will fit. Gateway is a little proprietary.

Have a new enlight case coming for it. Thanks
