400646 2005-10-31 20:03:00 I have a problem with my PC, in that when I push the power button, the computer appears to start, but there is no start POST 'beep', no flash of the keyboard lights, and no video output. If I leave it in this state for a few minutes, then restart it via a reset, the thing normally starts up as it should. I have replaced the CMOS battery, but this has changed nothing. Any ideas? suddentwang (9177)
400647 2005-11-01 01:16:00 What motherboard and BIOS is running? My Asus P4C800 Deluxe has somthing like that, where if I've overclocked it or changed a setting in the Bios, it will freeze when I boots next time. Try reloading the defualts of the BIOS .. or tell us what you havn't done in the BIOS (if anything) ProMaz (34)

The motherboard might be malfunctioning- for one of a number of possiblities.
Or the hard-drive might be.

Also try another power supply to see if that fixes the issue.

I assume this problem isn't related to any new hardware added or configuration change.
