Help with on/off problem

[jimz]

Computer

AMD x26000 processor
2 GIG ram ( corsair)
asus M2N motherboard
n4590 chipset

I hit the power switch and nothing.
Later, Sometimes an hour, it goes on.

Now it will go on, after awhile, and no video
or keyboard.

I suspect power supply.
Anything else I should check ?



Thanks

Jim

Power switch. Sounds like there's corrosion or just flaky contacts inside
it.

As misfit wrote it could be the power switch but I too
suspect the PSU most, next the motherboard. Try clearing
CMOS, check the battery voltage, and check the PSU's PS-On
and 5VSB voltages.
