Why is it allways me starting most problem posts in this forum !!

Anyway latest prob, I turn PC on hdd light flashes as if booting up but nothing.
I turn it off by the power supply switch at the back and try again.

This can take 4-5 attempts sometimes and on other days is fine it fires up right away.

So any clues what this annoying problem could be ?

It's either a weak power supply as the clogg meister suggests, or it's a dodgy bios in your mobo.

and if u buy a PSU dont get any of that Qtech or Sweex crap.

Buy yourself a nice stable supply like Antec, but if u dont want to spend that much, get an enermax or aopen Xpower PSU.
