Having to reset

Affothunder · 16 Mar 2008 at 20:58

When I press the power button on my PC, it seems to start up, but I get no beeps.

I then have to press the reset button to get it to boot, I get one beep and all is well and it boots fine.

Anyone any ideas?

Apologies my spec is in my sig

I've just upgraded to F7b, the only problem is this issue only arises when the system is booting from cold, so I won't be able to test this until the morning!!

Thanks!

Sorry I updated after you said, so will wait until the morning to see if this resolves it, when I updated previously F7b was not available so fingers crossed!

Tried booting this morning from cold and I am still getting this issue, it would appear that the new BIOD upgrade has not worked.

Does anyone else have any other ideas!?!?!?!

Thanks

I'll have a mess with the RAM, do you think that it may be a PSU issue as I couldn't afford a new one when building the PC and am using the standard one that came in this cheapy case.
