 |
|
Recently after no known issue that may have caused it, my computer has issues booting up from an off state and standby. It won't turn on unless I turn the power switch in the back off for a few minutes, then back on and wait for about 20 minutes (less than or more than that doesn't work. It will power on for about 3 seconds and then shut off.) Setup is as follows:
Windows XP Pro SP 2
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 GB dual-channel OCX RAM
Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT 256MB
ABIT AT8 32X 939 Mobo (added within the last year)
160 GB IDE HDD
20 GB IDE HDD
Acer 17" LCD (recent addition, although I don't see how it would cause problems like this)
Unknown wattage PSU (I'm fairly certain it's at least 450 watts, though.)
A friend of mine built the computer about 2 years ago and sold it to me last summer and that is why I'm not sure of the PSU wattage. My temps are between 30-40 degrees Celsius on average during low usage (Web browsing, IM, etc.) so I don't think it's an overheating problem, especially since I leave it off overnight. Any suggestions would be useful. |
