Unless it is left on for a while?
K, If I switch my PC off overnight and then come to switch it on in the morn it will switch on, all fans spin up, all lights come on, drives spin up and I can eject DVD-drives etc but that's all it does.
I can switch it on and off as many times as I like it won't work unless I leave it sitting there, on but not on..., for around 20-40mins. Then I switch it off again and back on and low & behold, it beeps and boots.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of why it's doing this? I took off the O/C so it's no longer O/C'ed but it still does it. I don't seem to have any problems loading, installing or unistalling anything. Have run a stress-test but nothing came back broken...
The PC will stay on for days without a problem and if I switch the PC off now for 5 mins it will come straight back on as well, it's only when it's been sitting there for a longish period of time (i.e, overnight)
Just getting worried that maybe my PSU is dying? The only thing I can think off is that a part of the PC has to 'heat up' before it will post (Maybe a capacitor?)
Any ideas welcome
Cheers, Doug.
