So here's the scenario.

1. I go to turn on the computer
2. Fans power up, HD power up, Processor spins.
3. Monitor doesn't register, stays yellow. Doesn't seem like anything else is going as well (HD doesn't make the right noises...as if it's just stagnant).
4. I reboot and try again, everything works fine.



At first I thought it was the power supply, replaced it with a brand new one and the problem seemed to have left...Until a week or two ago. Don't think it's the Mobo either as I used it in my machine for awhile until I put it in a new box.

This problem has plagued me for quite some time...still haven't found a solution and it's more of a nusiance than anything. Anyone else ever have a problem like this? Cause I have yet to talk to someone that does..

Can you please fill in your profile with your
computer specifications?

It would be easier for everyone to have a crack at your problem.

Yea I suppose it would.
Sorry about that.

Here are the specs.

Chip- AMD Athlon 1.0 Ghz
Mobo- Epox 8k7A
Hard Drive- Maxtor 51536U3 12 GB
Video Card- Geforce 3 TI200
RAM- Kingston 256 DDR PC 2100
OS- Windows XP SP1

um

moo?

Is it the one with 200 FSB?

Yep Bus Speed is 200.

Can you borrow a friends PSU to try that. Usually with a cold boot problem its a PSU issue.

Nah not the PSU bought a brand new one and tested it to make sure it works.
