PC keeps going on Standby at startup!

    Hi lads, its not my week for computers. My PC at home is a Packard Bell, 1 year old. My prob is I recently moved house and reset up my pc as before. Ive used it a few times since with no problems but it started to mess me about then.

    When I go to switch it on all looks well, the blue light on the on/off button goes on as does the little red power button but after 5 seconds it goes into what looks like standby mode and wont budge. This happened before but i managed to get it to start eventually through much on/off button pressing! Its just stuck in standby mode now, unless i pull the plug of course. Any suggestions? Cheers

    With the machine off, push and hold the power button. After a few seconds (maybe 5sec) the machine will power down.
    Now power on as normal.

    Thanks man but if you meant to say with the machine 'on' press and hold then ive already tried this but when i press on again it goes back into standby. Cant figure it out :(
