Hi Folks,
A new build; Asus P5KPL-CM MB, Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor E5200, Corsair Mem. TWIN 2X4096-6400C5 R and an Ultra X4 400 Watt Micro ATX Pwr Sply. Weird situation. When the system is cold (not run for 15 minutes or more)and I try to start, the pwr sply, cpu and case fans all run. I get HDD led blink for about a second and then no further progress. No POST, nothing. Pressing the reset button does nothing. I need to shut off the pwr sply switch, turn it back on and start again. I get no startup error beeps, but I don't know if this MB offers this option (Tried running without DDR2 memory and no beeps). Sometimes it starts on the 2nd or 3rd try. When it does start, I get the HDD led blink, and now the keyboard lights blink, and then the POST screen appears (post shows all components correctly) and I get a normal boot into Windows 7 Home Premium (32-BIT). Passed MEMTEST86+. It seems that something needs to warm up before it sees everything, Can anyone help?
