Been having this issue with my PC and hoping to get some advice on how to resolve it. I have to do the following just to get my PC to work.

1. Turn off power supply
2. Push the power button to make sure no power is inside the PC
3. Turn on the power supply
4. Power on the PC
5. On the first splash screen I have to hit F12. Nothing will happen if I don't
6. The PC goes straight to the windows startup screen upon pressing F12.
7. Windows 7 login appears ready to go.

I am guessing it is the power supply I need to replace. It is a 850watt from Corsair. However if any other part of my PC I should look into or advice will be great. I wanna reimage my PC as it has been a while but want to resolve the startup issue before I do. Thanks all

Do you know all the parts to your build, and can you list them if it's a new build? If this is a new build, I'm wondering if there are any incompatibilities.
