Hey guys, I got my first homebuilt up and running last week, and its been working pretty well overall. Quick hardware background on it:
Corsair 600t case
Asrock p67 Extreme4 motherboard
Intel I5-2500
Patriot 8GB DDR3 RAM
EVGA GTX560 TI
Corsair AX 750 Power supply
ASUS DVD drive
Anyway, I've been having one issue with the computer, and that is during start up. Whenever I boot it up for the first time after a regular shutdown, the tower will turn on and the fans and lights will activate, but nothing shows up on the screen, and my USB mouse/keyboard don't activate either. When I turn the tower off and back on, the computer fires right up and it operates perfectly fine. Sometimes this takes until the 3rd time, but most of the time its the 2nd time I do it. This wasn't happening when I first built the computer, and the only major changes I can think of is the massive windows updates. The windows updates were causing me problems as well; they were causing the computer to freeze on the shutting down screen, forcing me to manually turn the tower off. This problem has since stopped when I got all the updates successfully installed by doing them a small amount at a time. But this booting problem still remains.
Any Ideas on what might be causing this? My google searching hasn't been too successful; only found results from people who couldn't boot period. Those all said check hardware parts, try adjust ram settings/etc.
