Hi all,
My PC has problems starting up.
When no power has been running to it, even for a moment (ie it's been switched off at the back) and I start it again, it starts up, lights flash, there's no beeps but no display. Fans whirl, HD sounds are heard but it doesn't go further.
However, after a few tries it is OK. What's more, from this point I can shut down the PC and start it again from the front switch and it's fine. So long as I don't turn off the main power supply.
My initial thought was the power supply maybe dirty or old, so I swapped that out for a better one (from 300W to 500W) but it still has this exact problem.
What kind of things can I check or do?
Thanks
Martin
