Alright i have a serious problem. When i turn on my PC, all vents start spinning but i don't get any picture and also my external HDD is not responding. I need to press and hold the power button and then turn it on and then it works. But always when i want to power it the first time it fails. I reseted cmos with no effect.
Please for some help.

Any beeps? Sure everything is connected?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I think I have the exact same issue. Some times it just doesn't power up correctly and I have to restart it for it to work.

Edit: one thing I've noticed: my mic and external HDD don't power up when this happens.

I had this problem when I put my latest components in. I had multiple faults
1. Gfx card not inserted fully in the PCI-E slot
2. SATA cable was not fully plugged in
3. IDE cables not fully plugged in.

Try these.

Yes i got an answer on some other forums and it seems to work now. I disconnected my WD My Book 500GB usb HDD and it seems to work now. Gawwad do you also have an Asus mobo?

Asus P5N32-E SLI

Will see if my GPU is lose, doubt it though as I'm pretty sure it would have caused me other problems aswell.
Going to disconnect the USB HDD too. (Buffalo 320GB)

It seems Asus and an external USB HDD is a no no. What ext. HDD do you have?

Yes external HDDs are the gay, my seagate freeagent does something similar (my mybook is fine though), have to reconnect it every once in a while

maybe the usb hdd is before your ide/sata HDD in the boot menu? If not, just keep disconnecting the external when booting up.

My ext. HDD is not recognized in bios so it shouldn't be on the way of my internal HDD.

My 500GB Maxtor external HD works fine on my P5N32-e SLI . What BIOS version are you using Gawwad?

Buffalo 320GB DriveStation SATA. Only HDD shown in BIOS is my internal SATA.

I've got the default BIOS, which is the only one I can overclock with. Can't remember the number but I think you had the same version, max.

Sounds like something weird with gfx card.
replug monitor cable, take the gfx card out and put it back, take the supremefxII out, take the external HDD out....

Panzer thanks for your help. I'm in tho it seems i lost dual boot. It was my monitor, it keeps loosing signal. I have a Samsung 203B. Cables are plugged firmly, i made sure before i even took any components out. It gives me messages: analog/digital like its not signal, had to shake it to work. I appreciate your fast reply, thanks for your help!!


@locoloki i have problems so? i just built a new pc so its kinda normal. No need to be rude. You will need help soon i'm sure.

np. It didn't sound like mobo problem and I'm glad to hear it wasn't. I used to have that problem with an old CRT. I had to hit it few times every time I turned it on.
I hope you still have warranty for that monitor. If not, you'll have to get used to shaking it or buy another one.

edit: PS. I'm trying to do extremely good deal with Jetway 8800GT. If I get it cheaper than 150€, I can sell it for some $$$. You never know if I might even jump on the SLi club with 8800GTs

I'm gonna buy a new monitor anyway. Bur im really angry i took so many components out, changed gfx cards, took the battery out move the cmos reset switch-nothing.


I also wanted to have 2 GTs but there was a small selection of mobos available for sli and i really wanted this mobo. Would be awesome to have sli.
