I've been having some trouble and hoping someone might know the cause. When I turn on my computer by hitting the power button, it starts up and the fans kick on for about 1 second then shuts off. However, if I hold the power button (~5 seconds) then my computer will turn on and stay on. At this point I can use my computer normally but if I turn off my computer again same thing happens when I try to turn it on again.
At I first i thought it might be my power button, but same thing happens if I turn my computer on through the mobo. So I unplugged everything but the essentials, same problem. I've also tried cmos resetting and 1 stick of ram at a time but those weren't the problem. Seeing as I can still use my computer, it's manageable, but I wanted to ensure this problem won't come back to bite me.
