weird boot problem

fl35h · 30-06-2008, 09:12 AM

hi, my computer just started having this problem where it wont boot. if i hold down the power switch then then the power comes on and my case fans and lights turn on, but the PC doesnt boot. and if i let go of the button then it turns off. then i went back today and checked my PC and it wont turn on at all. not even if i hold down the power button. but the green light on my mobo is on.... so is it the PSU? its weird because it was working real well about an hour before this started happening. i was gamming at my brothers house and it was working fine there. but, when i brought it home it started having this problem. another thing is that it is quite humid here so that might have caused some problems. im not sure what part is bad or needs replacement so any help would be appreciated.

here is my system:
Antec 900 case
Asus P5N-E mobo
C2D E6750 2.66gh @ 3.2 gh
8800 GTS 640
550w PSU
2 gigs OCZ DDR2 ram

Just try to reset bios settings.....i had the same problem and reseting bios helped me......TRy it. To reset bios take out the battery (looks like a watch battery but a little bigger) you have to open the computer
