Can someone please help me. I have just built my first PC and am having a rather annoying intermittent problem. The PC runs like a dream when it's on, it's just getting the thing on!! You don't know from one day to the next whether it will come on at all. Sometimes the fans will spin and nothing else happens. Once I do get it on. If I switch it off when I've finished then try and turn it back on again, the fans will spin and then the sytem will die.
I've figured out, if I start swapping all the power connectors around it will work again. Has anyone ever had this problem before and if so how did they fix it?
System:
Giga-Byte GAK8NS Ultra 939
AMD Athlon 64 3200
1GB 184-pin DIMM DDR PC3200
160GB Maxtor 6L160M0 SATA Harddrive
Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A
Radeon 9600 Graphics Card
