For as long as I have had this YOYOtech pc it has failed to cold boot displaying a no input message on the monitor. Everything powers up in the case. I then use the reset button and all boots perfectly. I usually sleep the pc and it starts up fine then. The problem is only on a cold boot.
I have lived with this (stupidly) but it is now getting worse with repeated resets needed to boot - if at all.

Today when it finally booted I got a Post Error Occurred list = 1 - 5 being YOYOtech OC followed by last known, 3, 5 and >5 successfuls. I chose 3 and it booted.

I have tried clearing the cmos and restoring defaults in the bios to no avail.

I'm fearing the worst now but I am wondering if I am missing something obvious.

I had a similar issue with my pc where it wouldnt boot if i just hit the power button and waited. It would display no signal on my monitor. I could boot up but going into the BIOS settings changing nothing and then exiting. Then the pc would boot up fine. SO not exactly the same issue.

The problem was the CPU overclock. It was OC by a company as part of a bundle and they did it wrong. If your cpu is OC maybe this is causing issues?
