I have a deskside-PC with an ASUS IPIBL-LB motherboard. It works fine when it is laying down on one side but i is switching on and off when it is standing up. What kan be wrong?

I have checked all 4 scruws and they are OK fastened. Still I have the problem. Sometimes when i try to start the machine it won't power on until i give it a little kick with my hand. Then it starts and run for a while. This never happends when it is lying down.

Your analysis was correct. I dismounted the heatsink, put some new paste on tne processor and remounted the heatsink. Now the machine has been working perfect in upright possition for more than a week.
Thanks!
