Using Win XP Home SP2 on a Soltek m/b with a AMD 2800 processor and 512Mb
ram. I usually leave the computer running for days or even weeks on end but
sometimes due to being absent from the house or storms I turn the machine
off. When I come to restart the computer it does not start! Lots of lights
but no POST. I then clear the CMOS, disconnect all the peripherals then
reboot without a problem. I can then close down system, re connect the extra
hard drive, DVD burner, CD reader etc and the computer starts up again ok
and will continue to function normally until (I guess) I turn the system off
again. This has happened a number of times recently. Hardware or software
problem? Any clues how to correct this fault would be appreciated.
