Hey Guys. I am trying to troubleshoot a PC. Everytime I push in the Power Button, there is a long pause before the PC powers up and POSTS. After that, everything is fine! Incidentally, the time is random, but seems to get progressively worse the more times I try it for an extended period of time.
I stripped everything down to the PSU, MOBO and RAM. Didn't help. Replaced the MOBO and everything fired up the second I hit the Power button. I put the bad Mobo into an entirely different case, different PSU, and same problem. Takes anywhere from 10-40 seconds before the PC POSTS after pressing the power button.
Any ideas what could be causing this to happen. The mobo has been a trooper for the past 12 months or so, until I switched it out into a new PC. Tried reloading the defaults in BIOS but that didn't help. The MOBO is an MSI K9N6GM. Thanks!
James.
