Hi there I recently put together my new system, it's as signature. The system works fine, good performance etc, no crashes! But some time when I first turn on the system it hangs before bios starts . I can tell it's not booting as the hard drives don't turn on! And the hdd light doesn't flash! Nothing shows on the monitor! I turn it off and on again and after 2 or 3 times it starts up normal? The board is the B3 version with latest bios already installed. Any ideas?

Hi thanks for replys, I never turn power off from the wall, the system starts off, can here fans going, then it turns off for a second and then starts again? I have a hyper 880w power supply which I have had for about 18months, and it's my next thing to replace with my graphics card. I was wondering if it could be a USB hub causing this? On my old system I bought a USB extension cable for use with a hub as my pc is part of a home theatre/gaming room I have in a spare room. Anyway the only extension they had was a booster which bounces the signal back he said, and when I first installed this on my old system , the pc did a similar thing. But sorted itself out? Hopefully when I renew psu it will sort this out, thanks again
 
I just have a roccat powered hub, but power not needed to use, only to charge iphone etc. with a logitech g13 attached. when I first installed this the system would not load windows. i unplugged usb lead, restarted and then windows started fine. i then plugged usb back in and it worked fine. restarted many time and never had another problem until i have upgraded pc. but today its started up fine lol. maybe there is still a few probs with bios etc. but im still changing psu for future graphics upgrades :)
