Recently upgraded my desktop with:

Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H motherboard
AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 6000 3.0GHz
4X1G 667 RAM (2 new Kingston & 2 old Kingsmax)

I have retained:
nVidia GeForce 7300GT and disabled the onboard graphics.
Old Asus case with 500W power supply.
Running XP Pro SP3.
Have NOT update BIOS.

Now, sometimes, the PC would not respond to power on, after wall power point is switch off for long period (over night).
What can I do to fix this problem?
Should I use the on-board graphics instead?

If case/psu need replaced - any suggestions?

Thanks for all the advices on RAM.
Merry Christmas!!!

Then if the problem persists change the Power Supply with a Brand Name like Antec. A 350 Antec PS has the same power handling capacity as a 500 W No Name brand that is rated to a Peek Value.

But also check your power options in the control panel. A desk top should have no power down options but look there to see what it is set at. You did check the control panel to see if all the hardware drivers are correct right?
