I am having the strangest problem with the new computer I set up the other day.
When I leave the power supply turned on for an extended period of time, the computer will not start. When I attempt to turn it on, the fans will spin up, I will (sometimes) hear a system beep, and it will all power down.
When I leave the power supply turned off (by means of the switch on the back of it), then turn it on, it will work fine and the computer will work normally.
If I try turning off and on the power supply after having it on for a while, it will turn on the computer on it's own, and it will not boot, as described above. Why would the power supply switch start up the computer? And why wont the computer start up?
The computer is:
3GHz P4
350W power supply
Radeon 9600 graphics card
512Mb RAM
Abit AS8 motherboard
