Hi,
I have to restart my computer several times before it will actually start.
I hit the power button, the red LED comes on, the green LED does not come on, the fans come on, the CD drive light flash on and off, sounds like hard drives come on, but not sure.
I have to wait 10 seconds.
Then I push and hold the power button untill it shuts off, wait 5 seconds, push power button again.
Repeat this several times, then the green LED comes on and computer boots
normally.
If I just use the reset button, it won't come on.
If I shut the computer off and turn it back on within a few minutes, it will comes on normally.
Computer works great and never crashes. I run video, CAD, CS3.
Home build several years ago.
XP Home SP3, all updates, AMD XP2 3000, 2mb ram over 1 TB hard drives, 512 mb graphics (ATI (Sapphire) X1650), ECS K7VTA3 6.0c Motherboard
I have done an upgrade reinstall.
Seagate drives, about a year old. I also did a full test anyway.
It works, but I'm concerned one day it may not start at all.
Thanks in advance, Duane
