The fans and HD start up but the monitor stays black. This happened about 5 times so far and each time I got it to work again by disconnecting the power cable for a few minutes (at least it seems like this was what helped). After it has booted it runs rock solid and without any problems. Any ideas?

It could also be the power supply tho Hopes this helps Doof Last edited by Doof_Guy; 12/06/08 01:32.

Such problems suck though. You would always need two similar computers for swapping parts to figure out the reason but my older computer uses AGP and a different CPU socket and so on so it isn�t of any use.
