Hi,
I have this issue with my PC which I believe is motherboard related. Last week I got a new desk and I had to leave my PC disconnected for about an hour whilst I moved things around. When I plugged it back in it wouldn't turn on.
After hours of trying a few things, like turning on with only CPU and ram connected and using a different power supply, I came across a post about holding the power button down for 20 seconds with the AC disconnected before reconnecting the power supply. After I did this the PC came back on.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me why this fix "apparently" works and if its something that you need to do on modern motherboards in such situations as I have never come across it before.
Thanks in advance for any help or info you can provide.
Phil
P.S My system is a i7 4770, 16GB DDR3 HyperX, EVGA 650W GQ
