| 446262 | 2006-04-14 10:50:00 | The Problem My current pc powering on process goes as follows: 1) Push the power button at the front of the machine. (at this point the pc starts to power up, the system fan starts and the hard-drive light comes on and stays on, but ther is no beep and nothing more happens. The monitor remains in standby.) 2) I then have to turn the pc off using the PSU switch at the rear of the machine. 3) After a couple of seconds i turn the PSU switch on again. 4) Now when I push the on button at the front of the pc it starts up with no problems and there are no further operational issues. (NB. when i power down everything seems to shut down but the fan stays on until i hold in the power switch to turn the pc off) Solutions suggested and tried -- i changed the core voltage from 1.750 to 1.775 with no effect. -- i've tried various combinations of connecting the on/off switch to the KT7A-RAID motherboard. It is now conncted to PN1 pins 7 & 8 as stated in the motherboard manual. -- i've tried changing the DRAM timing (not that i fully understand what this is) from 8/10ns to 'medium' from within the Bios. Didn't work. If anyone has any more ideas i would appreciate the input. I've already killed one PSU by turning it on and off from the main power switch. Thanks |

| 446264 | 2006-04-14 13:51:00 | yeh, they look fine. (should i just be looking for leakage and distorting?) | jon78 (10204) | ||
| 446265 | 2006-04-14 22:57:00 | How old is the computer? Have you added any new hardware recently? Have you tried replacing the CMOS battery? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
