Sometimes it starts sometimes it doesn’t…

by afonso.marques . Updated 16 years, 7 months ago

Hi,
My system has the following components:
– ASUS P5B Deluxe;
– Core 2 Duo E6800;
– Noctua NH-U12-P CPU cooler;
– GSkill 2GB DDR2 800;
– nVidia 8800GTS 320MB;
– 2x Seagate 500GB 7200.12;
– Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 850W;
– AEROCOOL COOLPANEL 2 PRETO fan controller;
– NOX Coolbay 25 chassis;
– 1x 25cm side fan;
– 1x 12cm front fan;

The problem: from time to time it ‘remembers’ and it just doesn’t start at all! Not even the fans!

A couple of times, disconnecting the power plug for a few seconds brought it back to life.

Then, when it doesn’t work, I open the chassis, reseat every simgle component and ‘voila’ – It is alive!!!! Until the next time… 🙁
By the way, it has already happened 5 or 6 times now.

Help…
