Same used to happen to me - it's motherboard based

did you get it fixed or did you just put up with it?

I put up with it for about a year then stopped using the PC because I got a laptop. Then, after a while, it wouldnt turn on no matter how much I tried. Got given a free motherboard then and all is well

well i don't want it to just die on me! it's a pretty good motherboard!! i was gonna reformat soon anyway so that might help?

Mine was pretty good - top of the line Abit in its day.

Your problem could be different though - just my experience
