I need advice. I just installed the K7S5A with a 1.4 GHz and 256 DDR. The system will run beautifully for as long as I want and will reboot as many times as I want, as long as I don't turn off the power. As soon as I do a complete shutdown and the power is off, it won't boot again. Nothing will come on my monitor and my cdrom drives will just flash their lights. I assume it is due to an inadequate power supply, because I have heard that a computer draws the most juice when you first flip it on. I looked on AMD's website for my power supply and they only recommend using it up to 1.1 GHz. The PSU is an AGI HEC-300AR 300 W. Another interesting fact, when I leave my computer for a long time and boot from the power off state it will work. I thought that may be because the electrical resistance goes up with temperature (and after it's been sitting for a long time it gets cold enough for my power supply to be effective). But if my computer has been on for a little while and I shut it down completely and try to boot up a couple seconds later, I get the problem I mentioned above. Do you think I'm right about the power supply being inadequate? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.
