Hey guys, I'm having trouble turning on my computer. Most of the time when I press the power on switch on my computer, the fans would turn on (really fast) but no POST would occur and no beeps. Only after pressing the reset button several times over a long period of time (5 minutes) would the PC turn on. I think it might have to be "warmed up" in some way so that it is able to turn on. I thought it was a problem with my mobo, so I RMA'ed it and re-installed it but to no avail. My computer still doesn't POST. My specs are:
Asus M2N-e Motherboard Socket AM2
4200+ dual core AMD Socket AM2
512 MB Gigabyte Radeon 1900XT
X-Fi Audigy Soundcard
550 Watt Antec Truepower 2.0
2 - 1 GB each Corsair DDR2
1- 250 GB Western Digital HD SATA (currently on SATA 1)
DVD drive NEC (currently on cable select as master)
3.5" Floppy Sony
I thought power might be a problem so I unplugged my fans and my harddrive (since I heard you can still access the bios even without the HD) and that didn't work either. Finally I tried to reset the CMOS and that didn't do anything. I don't know what could be the problem since it starts up without problems sometimes, and other times it doesn't start up at all.
