System will not re-boot.

[simon.b]

I just built a system using cheap bits from e-bay. Power it up all works fine, installed software etc. no problem with multiple restarts.

However if I break the mains power supply it will not then re-boot unless I remove and replace the CPU. Then it powers up and runs fine, swap the CPU back (isolating mains power) and again no problem until the mains powers is switched and once more it will not boot.

The mother board is an Microstar MS-6119 (ver 1.2) and I have the same problem with various processors.

Cheers,

Simon.

have you tryed pulling out main cable and any other leads then hold in power button 30seconds and then plug mains in and test?

Also you havn't got anything on the USB's have you? for example the dreadded BT voyager 105 which needs a nuclear power plant to power it?

Ditto, also try updating the bios on the motherboard and removing any non-essential add in cards.

Thanks Guy’s,

It is stripped down to basics, I swapped the power supply and hey presto problem solved.

Cheers,
