Very weird MSI problem ........

[undercover]

When I hit my power button everything comes on, like my fans, CD-ROM's, lights and so on, but the computer does not BOOT. All the light on the MOBO are RED and I get no video out signal. When I hit the RESET button, everything comes on fine and I don't even get a scan disk.

Any clue as to why this happens? And why it only happsns SOMETIMES?

Thx

disable all powermanagement stuff in the bios. especailly 'state after power off' or something like that

I have the same problem. I never thought of hitting the reset button, I flip the switch on the power supply. What kind of power supply do you have? I was thinking it was due to that, but I could be wrong. Let me know what you find out.

OK, mine is kind of close. If I turn off the computer via Start|Shut down and wait for a bit, when I try to turn it back on via the power switch, I get nothing. I have to turn off the switch on the power supply for 10 seconds and then back on. I hit the power button and it boot fine. I can do resets just fine. I can turn it off for 5-10 minutes and it will turn on just fine. But if I leave it off for more than 10 or more minutes, I just can't turn it back on with out flipping the switch first.

I have a Pro2-A and a Powerman 300 P/S
I have 'state after power failure' set to off (This cures the 4 sconds power on when you plug it in.) But I have tried all ther setting with no avail.

Whacha guys think??

You guys see if there were any bios updates?

I was running 1.8 and I uped to 1.9 to see if it was 1.8. I still have the same problem. They are at 2.2, but I really haven't heard any good thing about them, so I was reluctant to flash.....plus only a hand full of peeps are having htis power trouble.
