having a very irritating problem with my desktop at the moment.
on startup its crashing in the ASUS splash screen UNLESS the power is cut off for more than 5 seconds by either unplugging the plug, or by switching the PSU off on its isolator switch.
The power supply is a corsair HX850, which has been plugged into a surge protection gang socket since installation (I built the PC about 4 years ago).
Ive tried the usual, flashed the BIOS, reset CMOS, plugged RAM, unplugged all usb stuff (even the front panel from the mobo) but to no avail.
Also having issues with windows not shutting down although Im presuming this is unrelated (its overdue a reformat)...
Id be grateful for any thoughts.
