not PSU. got a new one for a computer that i built up. The PC wont post. it had a cheapo 400W PSU in it. got a 450W PSU from local PC shop and PC worked.
now its doing the same thing. it wont POST til you keep restarting it. its a low/mid end PC

Jetway 915 intel chipset mobo
Celeron 2.8ghz
Radeon X700 256mb
1Gb corsair value DDR2 ram
60gb HDD

450W is more than adeqaue for this PC

take everything out and re-seat it?

could also be worth taking the whole lot out of the case and running it on a table top to see if the motherboard is sometimes shorting to the case
