No Power?
Occasionally when I shut my computer down, when I try to boot it, nothing happens - no POST beep, no fans, it's like it's unplugged. Sometimes if I turn off the powerstrip, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on again, then start the computer it works, sometimes not. At first I thought it was a faulty ATX power switch, but this is the second computer it has happened on (different powerstrip as well). I have looked through the Power Management settings in Windows (XP Pro) as well as the BIOS, and I can't see anything relevant. Here's what I'm running now, but like I said, it has happened on other computers:
Antec Sonata case w/ 380 watt TruePower P/S
Asus A7V333 Motherboard
Athlon XP 3000+ CPU
512 MB RAM
80 Gig HD
Plextor DVD burner
