 |  To start or not to start My home-pc got very lazy. The pc refuses to start-up right away when i push the start button. Procedure: - push start button: pc works for 0,05 seconds and stops, pc does nothing when i push the power button again - pull power cord out of PSU - push start button: pc works for 0,05 seconds and stops, pc does nothing when i push the power button again - pull power cord out of PSU - repeat these 2 steps from 5 to 20 times - ... then it suddenly works My guess: or PSU or mobo What's your guess ?

| 1) Loose main connector (20-pin) 2) PSU cable (happened to me - cable turned bad) 3) Loose or intermittent reset or mobo s/w connection 4) PSU replacement 5) Mobo

| did you open the PC up and reseated all PCI cards & removed dust? can also be caused by a short circuit

| Molto graci for your answers and offers PC is air dusted every 2 months approx, power cable properly seated, fiddled with cables while pc was running -> no problems, no dogs or cats, just chickens and one goldfish I'll start with a new spare psu from work. Haven't got any spare one's here after a lightning killed 2 (two !) of them at my house. Sidenote: lightning also killed a wireless router, a vcr and an adsl plug.

| I live at approx 300 meters from a 150 meter high television antenna. Still lightning stroke very nearby during the night (wife and i jumped 1 meter high out of bed), main surge (correct term ?) blew immediatly. Only damage is descibed above, all fubar appliances are from different rooms ... no logic
