How old is the PC. Im seeing a few (XP) HP's with blown caps lately. These give
all sorts of intermittent errors.

inspection of the caps didn't show any damage.

717075 2008-11-04 04:00:00 Letting it sit for 4 minutes or so seems to clear something allowing it to boot. NZHawk (4093)
717076 2008-11-04 04:05:00 Try removing all the panels and checking that all the switches etc are seated correctly - Sounds a little like one I had a few years back with the covers off it worked fine, in the end I found it to be the side cover when attached, was putting just enough sideways pressure on the front panel to force the on/off switch to short out.:badpc:


Letting it sit for 4 minutes or so seems to clear something allowing it to boot. could be a power Supply as well doing that - is it the original PSU ? and have you got a spare to swap out to try.

717077 2008-11-04 04:11:00 These suggestions hold possibilities as I did have to take the front panel off to take the hard drive out - I may have pinched a wire or something.
Will look into it.
If not there I will swap the psu with a new one.

Cheers - Thank you all for your help - need to sign off now - will continue tomorrow.

Cheers
