I am having the strangest problem with my system at the minute. I built it about 3 months ago and it has been running fine intermittently except for one problem, everytime i switch the computer of at the mains, it fails to boot up again. Initially i thought there may have been some sort of system conflict and usually by removing some components i could get it to reboot. Once it had booted up i could then power down re-install the components and the system would work fine. Last night after powering down i decided to take a chance and turn it off at the mains as well - today i cannot get it to post - at present i have remove everything except the Cpu/HSF. My Specs are:

Giga-byte K8N51GMF9 (latest bios)
AMD SD 3700+
1*512 400mhz Nanya double sided
1*256 333mhz Crucial double sided
1*256 333mhz Crucial single sided
2*160gb maxtor sata HDD
1 * NEC-3500 dvd
PSU - Asus 300w (came with a vintage PH-1 matx case)

No overclocking - just default settings.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
