    Hi!
    Problem:
    Reset via button works fine, but if I power down using front panel button (i.e. leaving mains on), the PC no longer boots. The mobo appears to power up, fans switch on, but I get no booting beep (or any error beeps), and the screens stay off. To get it to boot again I have to switch off the PSU, wait for the caps to drain (there is a light on the mobo that goes off after about 5 secs), then switch back on and it will boot once.
    Any help with this would be very appreciated!

    Specs:
    ASUS P5K-E/Wifi AP (never re-flashed BIOS since I got it)
    Core 2 E6850 w/stock cooling
    OCZ 4x1GB DDR2 (2 sets of OCZ2N1066SR2GK).
    1kw Corsair PSU
    ATI 4850x2
    2xSATA HD
    1xSATA DVD

    It is definetely your RAM. There might be a problem in your memory if there is no beeps. try to change there places or try some other RAM.

    Thanks for the reply, and you are correct there was a problem with the ram, but I have replaced my entire system since this thread was started :D
