I have a custom built PC that has a nagging problem I can't figure out.
Whever the machine is without power for an extended time, either unplugged,
or a power failure at the house, the machine is very difficult to re-start,
once power is re-supplied. The last time this happened, a power failure at
the house that lasted for a whole day, I managed to get the machine to
finally re-start, but only after holding the power button on the case down
for 5 minutes. Last night the machine was unplugged for several hours and
today I cannot get it to start, no matter how long I hold the power button
down.
Is there some kind of a battery that could drain if a continual power stream
to the computer is not available? Is this a possible power supply problem or
is something perhaps in the system telling the machine to go into some deep
hibernation? I have made sure time and time again, that hibernation is turned
OFF in the control panel.
any ideas? Thanks
