I have just been to have a look at a pc with a strange issue, when you turn it on, the fans come on, lights flash, but nothing on the screen, whatever you try it wont boot up. If you walk away and leave it for maybe 1 - 2 hours and go back it will have booted into windows, it does this every time you turn it on. I have re-seated all the cables and the memory with no improvement, I did notice that the tower won't turn off if you hold the On/Off switch in, you have to use the switch on the psu. I checked the psu and it seems to be OK but I will change it next week. Once it does eventually boot up it works normally and shuts down normally. I am suspecting an issue with the psu or the mobo but would welcome any suggestions from you guys.
The basic spec is as follows:- Athlon 5350 procesor, ASUS AM1M-A mobo, 8GB DDR3 Ballistix memory and was built almost 4 years ago/
