After turning my PC off, sometimes it won't turn on again when I press the power up button, the usual scenario being I turn it off at night, and come to it in the morning. As far as I can see, the motherboard power light is on inside the case.

However, if I remove the power cable, wait a few secs then plug it in again, it all boots fine no problems..

Any ideas as to what might be causing it? I would guess the PSU, but I couldn't explain why!
 
Sorry, what do you mean by "reseated"? I haven't changed the config of the cables since I built the PC if thats what you mean..
 
reseated, usually means with cards, sorry. Have you unplugged all the cables and plugged them back in to make sure they are all making ocntact?

Heat\cool\heat\cool... in a case this causes thermal creap over a long period of time, sometimes
 
I'll try that cheers, could well be whats causing it. I'm thinking of getting a new PSU anyways, this ones getting a bit unreliable, plus I've just got another monitor.

Cheers for the help!
