A while ago I bought some parts from Newegg.com and built my computer and installed the software and everything worked fine. I thought it worked fine but I discovered a weird booting issue where after several hours (like 6 hours) of the computer being off and I tried turning it back on everything would turn on except for booting. I would press the reset button and voila! The computer turns on. A friend of mine told me that it was the motherboard so I requested a replacement. I installed the replacement and I still have the same issue. The computer turns on only after a couple of hours being off.
Later, I asked a question on TechRepublic and a few members told me that my power supply might be bad because of some malfunction with one of the transistors inside.
I bought and installed the new power supply and I’m having an even more frustratingly weird booting issue similar to what I had in the beginning.
**note**
when I say “experience the above” I mean where everything turns on except for booting the HD and I have to press ‘reset’ to boot the computer.

Now, my computer sometimes experiences the above . I’ve noticed that after some windows update or some software update (like a driver or something) and it needs to restart for changes to take affect the computer experiences the above. If I wait like 10 hours without turning it on it experiences the above.
Now I’m confused and annoyed because this is such frustrating problem.
Here are my specs for my comp:
MB: MSI 790FX-GD70
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 Black Edition (multiCore)
RAM: OCZ Gold DDR3 PC8500 1066
HD: Western Digital SATA
Pwr sup: Cool Max 900 watt-Green Power
Please help me, eventually I’ll have to take it in for it to be analyzed but I need to understand a real possiblility.
