Last night I was building a new gaming rig for my mate, its nearly the exact same hardware as I built for another friend recently and like last time the pc boots fine, ive got to BIOS, boot from usb, installed windows 8, running grand except this time I've noticed when I restart in any way wether its F10 save and restart from the BIOS or restart from windows the computer will not restart correctly.
It restarts and the fans come back on (case and cpu) but there is no life other than that, the screen never gets populated with anything and the monitor stays in standby as there is no picture to display. To fix this I have to hold the button till completely off and start it again and it will boot up completely fine. This happens absolutely every time I send any form of restart command via any means.
It is not the ram (unless both sticks are faulty), i doubt its the PSU not having enough power to get it back on as I don't even have the external graphics installed yet, there is no USB drives or anything in the back that might trip it up.
Anyone got any ideas I'm stumped
