Last night I tried to start my computer (an Asus powered Cooler Master). Sadly it's not starting. However I got it to start twice (miraculously and without remembering how it happened). When it happened the second time, I saw the notice that the anti-surge protection was responding to power surges it was detecting. But I can't get it started to test this theory by disabling the anti-surge (which I've read enough about, you can imagine).

So.... Whenever I push the start bottom, all I get is brief, feeble, half second attempts by the computer to get started, and it just repeats this process.
Something interesting I tried was to hit the restart button while the blue lights were briefly lit and all this did was keep the fans going and one blue light on. I'm at a real loss about how to proceed if my PC's not gonna turn on.

Can someone lend me a hand here?

You might need to do a cmos reset - powr off. remove the battery from the motherboard. wait 10 mins. refit the battery. power up.

Hopefully it'll at least POST.

But make sure the power is fit to run it first. Think about getting a UPS.
