Hello, I have a really strange problem and I'll try to explain it as good as I can.

Specs:
i5 3570k
z77x-ud3h
2x4gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz
msi 7870 tf3
silverstone strider plus 750w
intel 330 180gb
1tb seagate barracuda
fractal design define r3

Okay so to the explaining. I basicly can't turn on my computer if I have left the - power chord in / power stripe on - when I turned off the computer. I need to turn the power stripe off or remove the power chord for 5-10 seconds and then plug it back in / turn it back on. And then it start up normally.

I bought the parts 2 months ago and built it myself. I was carefull when I built it and I've built computers before. ESD wrist strap and motherboard on a cardboard piece when I mounted the CPU and RAM.

Any ideas? PSU problem? Motherboard? Help :??:

Are you running any overclocks?

It does sounds kind of like a PSU problem, you may still be able to lodge an RMA claim if you only bought it two months ago.

No, I'm not running any overclocks right now.
I will try the PSU on another computer and see if it works better there.
