Sorry voor de vage topic omschrijving, maar ik weet amper hoe ik dit moet omschrijven...
Voorts paste ik deze post van een engelstalig forum waar ik eerst heb gepost, hoop dat dit geen probleem is...
So here goes:
It all started some 4 months ago. My PC wouldn't start when I'd press the power button. After some tinkering, I found out (by accident) that it would start if I left the plug out of the socket for some time. Whenever I was done with working on the PC (always late at night), I'd unplug it. In the morning, I'd put the plug back in and it would usually boot.
Now, some time later (couple of weeks, can't remember exactly), the problem got worse. My PC wouldn't even start in the morning. I'd put the plug back in, as usual, hit the power button, and all I'd hear was this little beep (which I always hear, it's a signal that my fan is running too slow (normal, since it's only just starting) and nothing else, system wouldn't start. If I tried to press the power button again--and this is important--I wouldn't even hear that beep.
I tried various things at this stage, and again, mostly by luck, I found out a way to work around this. Whenever I pulled the plug out for a short time (around 10-15 seconds), and then put it back in, it would give me the beep again, and USUALLY, it would boot up fine from there. If it didn't boot, I repeated this a couple of times and it would work. Later on, when I opened up my case, I found out those 10-15 seconds coincide with the time it takes for the little LED-power-Indicator on my motherboard to go out.
Later on (again some weeks, can't remember), it got worse: I would have to try A LOT of times (the pull out the plug for 15 seconds procedure, I mean) before my PC would start.
Some things that COULD be related to this problem:
- Sometimes, after my PC would start, I'd get a message (during boot) that "overclocking was failed" and that I'd have to revert to default settings. (this isn't the exact message, of course).
I have never overclocked anything in my life, so I don't know where this comes from...
- Sometimes, after my PC would start, I'd get a message that I needed to insert proper boot media (you know, that message you see when you forgot to take out a floppy from your drive). So I check my BIOS settings, to find out my boot devices were still in correct order (floppy, harddisk, cdrom drive). But when I checked the hard disk order, they were reversed (I have two hard disks). When I'd switch the order (the one with Windows on it back to the first spot), my PC would boot. So why does my PC sometimes switch the order of my hard disks?
- Sometimes, my PC would shut down during booting, or when just into Windows. If I got through the first 5 minutes in Windows, I'd know I'd be fine. Lately though, my PC just randomly shuts down (this doesn't happen a lot, maybe 6 times during the past few weeks). Again, I do not know if this is related to the problem I describe at the beginning...
So there you have it...
I'll give you my (most important) specs, just in case...
Asus P5P800 motherboard
1024 (2x512) MB of DDR-RAM (PC3200/DDR400)
Intel Pentium IV 550 S775 (3,4 Ghz)
Radeon 9800Pro 128MB (AGP)
Maxtor 160GB Plus 9 S-ATA
some months before I began having these problems, I had my system put into a new case (Nexus Breeze), which includes a Nexus 500W PSU. At the same time, I let them put in another S-ATA disk.
