about a week ago i upgraded my system (see sig) everything has ran perfectly (for once

)... and still is

, the only problem i have really is that when i goto switch it on, it powers for 'less than a second' and switchs straight back off then when i press again it powers on normal and everythings fine, today i needed 3 attempts before it switched on so is there maybe a potentially more serious problem brewing up there or dont i need to worry???

i know my psu takes longer then older psu's to 'feed' the power through, now that they have done away the 'the red switch'

it now needs to take those extra seconds to 'scan' how much power is going in... no clicking though

ok i switched it on today and it booted up normal first time... typical
and thats the first time since its was built that it started up first press

ok i think i know whats wrong now... its my fault! :eek:

seems i may have been pressing too quick when what i should be doing is press n hold for about 1 second for it to stay on
