Computer startup
    #8120175 - 03/08/08 03:12 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Evertyime my computer is manually shutoff (e.g. it's unplugged, or I press the power button), I can't seem to restart.

The hardrive will whir for about a half a second, the LED's will light (as if it's going to start), then everything stops. This process will loop continuously,and sometimes I can get it to start. I can "shut down" and restart just fine.

My guess is its some sort of short, or an issue with the power supply. Any ideas?

Have you recently installed any new hardware?

it could possibly be that the powersupply isn't strong enough to start the computer up. I used to have to leave mine of for a while then it would finally start. All sorted when i got a new PSU though.

Nope. I haven't installed anything new.

The computer is completely dead because the power just went off. But often, in a day or so, it will start "cycling" again with about a half second "startup", and then the HD immediately winds down. Usually at this point, I can hit the power button and it starts normally.

I think it might have been some type of physical trauma, as it happened right after I moved. I've already opened the case though and pushed and pulled all connections to make sure they are secure.

It's a very curious problem.
