I have an annoying problem with a computer.
The BIOS won't post after it has been turned off and started again unless I turn the switch off/on on the power supply. The fans, CD-ROM, HDD and everything starts running but the BIOS never beeps and the monitor stays black.
I tried: reinstalling Windows XP, flashed BIOS to latest, CMOS clear, new power supply, other HDD, new memory sticks, graphics card. I also removed the motherboard from the computer case and laid it on a cardboard box and only connected the PSU, RAM and CPU.
Other than this the computer works great but its annoying having to off/on the power supply switch before turning it on after it's been off.
My guess is that the motherboard is faulty, the motherboard looks fine tho no fried capacitors or anything but sure they can be destroyed anyways I would just like to hear what you guys think.
PS. This computer has never been overclocked or anything
