Help! I have to do a trick to turn on my computer

[ladybridgeport]

After I replaced the case and power supply this problem occurs: If I press the power button to turn on my computer, the fans turn on, but nothing beeps and the BIOS does not load. In order for my computer to boot up, I have to switch off the power supply in the back of my computer then switch it back on and press the power button on the front of my computer just after I turn on the rear power supply switch. If I wait too long to press the front power button, it does not boot up and if I press the front power button too quickly it does not boot up.

I no longer have the old case or power supply. It is an ATX case and power supply. Microstar motherboard. What can I do to make my computer turn on like a normal computer?

That's how everyone turns their computers on.


Ok Im kidding... do you by chance have an old case, maybe the cables for the power button dont match up with the mobo correctly?

 

[ladybridgeport]

Well, I had to connect the cables for the power supply kind of like jumpers, one for power, one for reset, etc.

 

[Quiltface]

double check in the manual that those are set correctly... reseat your mobo power. this might be a tough one to trouble shoot unless you have spares around to throw into the mix.

Hard-Drive?

Also, make sure IE Cable & Power Cable is connecting secure right form motherboard to hard-drives I guess...

I gathered that she is having problems with the pc actually turning on, so i dont think power to the hdd would solve anything.

I have split capacitors on my mainboard

 

[IrishLard]

You might just need to bite the bullet and replace the power supply, that would probably fix any issues

Then it's time for a new motherboard.

The only reason I still use it is for the creative sound card software that only works with my hardware. Does anyone know of a program that can edit audio files accurately, export mp3 format, and have a input level monitor meter?

I've had this issue caused by a BIOS lock, but if you haven't changed anything
it shouldn't be the BIOS.

If you know the setup works, and it's just since you've put it in this case,
the board may be shorting somehow being mounted in the case.

I would suggest taking the board out and hook everything up outside of the case.

This will tell you if it's the case. If not, then it's probably the new psu.
