Good luck.

Its through a surge protected power strip. I'll try a different socket, but I dont think there is a problem with this one as my folding rig is also plugged in to it.

OK, I'm thinking that the first time you power up the ps maxes out and when it powers your devices it runs out of stored power (IE caps in PS) and the mobo is not getting a high enough charge to pass bios minimums to poer up(think of it as a hiccup). Try disconnecting devices like cdrom and see if that fixes it. If that does the trick then your just at the max your ps can supply. so either upgrade ps or add another to power your drives.

Ok i'll give that a shot too and see what happens.

Only when she says it is.

Or if you're sitting on a turntable or a Lazy Susan.

Take care, Hue.

The last time that happened to me I accidentally took my percocet at the wrong interval

BlackOmega, good job man

Sorry I'm a little half asleep but when you mean "Cycle" are you referring to the power switch on the back of the power supply or did you completely swap out the PCP&C for a different one?

I apologize for the odd questions guys. Been up since 4 so I'm little lethargic.

Hueristic, if that were the case then would you think this PCP&C unit is faulty? Your suggestion is pretty good and makes perfect sense

Good luck

From what Hueristic says, I think he is suggesting either a faulty PSU (broken cap perhaps?) or an insufficient one.

By "cycle," he means flip the switch on the back of the PSU (akin to unplugging it) and then flipping it back on.

DUDE!!! Get some sleep man!!

And Blitz got it right about the cycling. I probably wont have a chance to swap out the PSU until Friday.

Exactly.

I'm going to try unplugging the DVD/floppy drive and see if there is any change. If it still does it I'll also try unplugging 2 of my 4 case fans.

Its going to suck if I have to RMA this thing. It was working fine for several days

However I did notice that the LED thats supposed to be on by the RAM is not. Well until I cycle the PSU anyway. Once I cycle it, the LED comes on and she fires right up.

What do you guys think might be causing this?

BO, this is the exact same thing that happens to me. Every time I go to power on my rig, I have to cycle the PSU by the rear switch.

The RAM Power LED is on after I power cycle it, but not beforehand.
