My computer is about 2 years old. It's a Compaq Presario. It has an athalon processor. One day it just would not turn on at all when the power button was pressed. I was told to replace the motherboard by a technician at a big computer store. After messing around with it I figured out that by the following method I could get it to start up: 1. Unplug power cord from back of computer 2. Unplug motherboard harness 3. Plug power cord back in 4. Plug motherboard harness back in. After doing this in order it will start and run fine. But everytime someone turns the computer off I have to follow this procedure again to get it started. What is wrong?
