weird power issue.

[Greyd]

I've got this weird power problem and I'm not sure if its the motherboard or the power supply.

If I leave my computer on or reboot it - no problem. HOWEVER, if I turn it off and have to turn it back on, then I have to sit there for 10 minutes or so pushing the power button off and on until it finally "catches" and turns on.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

On the times when it doesn't turn on, does it at least start to power up? Do you get lights on the box? If you're not getting any lights at all, it could just be the switch.

edit...forgot a word in the last sentence.

No power up at all. Just "click." After about a billion tries, it will finally power up.

What Mobo and PSU are you using?

Just a guess but from what it sounds like to me its an issue with the power switch on the case. Ive had that issue before on an older raidmax case.

GRARRRR just figured out it was the PS. Sigh. I thought Enermax was good.


Thanks anyways guys.
