Re: Asus P5K Deluxe/WiFi cold boot problem

to pepe1914 and others:

For what it's worth, a tip:

Recently I have discovered something: it does seem to make a difference which power supply is used with the mainboard after all. But this only relates to post/reboot problems, not to the other problem where the PC powers on briefly, then off and back on and normal boot after that.

For a while we have used Antec's Earthwatts 380 power supplies which were included in the PC cases we use for our PCs. As it now turns out, some of these Antec power supplies are having problems, and some don't. (!)

Now we have switched to using empty PC cases and we are currently trying ASUS A-45GA power supplies with those. Up to now we have not had any post problems anymore with our PCs, except the fact that sometimes at cold boot the PC powers on, briefly off and automatically back on. But besides this, the other problems with no post and no VGA and such seem to be solved by the change in powersupply.
