Hi guys,
I've got a problem that I'm stuck with and could really do with your help .....
here goes!:
It started a few weeks ago ... every time I switched on my computer using the switch at the rear of the PSU and pressed the case power-button, the computer would attempt to boot up, make a loud 'click' and re-start. The LED on the motherboard would light up fine, fans would run briefly, etc but it just would not kick in. It would do this around 8-10 times before it properly booted up. Once booted, every thing would run fine until shut-down.
I found out that if I left the PSU switch on permanently, the computer would boot-up first time every time after pressing the case power-button. However, whilst out, my Dad switched off the mains :mad: and then it would not boot up at all.
I assumed it to be a PSU problem so promptly purchased another one (and more powerful) but the problem remains. When flicking the PSU switch on, the motherboard LED lights up, the fans rotate for a split second and stop, but pressing the case power-button does absolutely nothing. No fans, no noise, no nothing!
Does anyone have any ideas?!!
John.
