why won't this thing start the right way!?

I unlocked my proc(as you see in my signature) with a defogger kit, my problem is my comp doesn't always turn on when I hit the power button. I have repeatedly checked the bridges and the are fine. When it does turn on its at the adjusted speed(1155), its just that sometimes it will not post. The power goes on, fans are spinnin like mad, hdd's spin up, cd-roms all do their thing, but no video, no beeps, no post. If I shut off the power from the power supply and turn it back on, it usually will come right on no probs at all. I have tried every voltage I have and a boatload of fsb/mult combo's and still real wierd. Please help!!!

Well, I would start by changing the power switch. I don't THINK that is it but they are cheap, and easy to change. Then maybe test that power supply and make sure it is good and that you have enough power, (a 300w minimum). Also you could use one of these http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/alarmandaccesories/accessories/popups/index_tester.htm
to check it. That has to be one of the most annoying problems. Good luck with it.

It very well could be the power supply, but first try just setting it where you want, and letting it go for a couple of days, to see if it will stay where you want. A lot of the posts I have read here indicate that sometimes buggy crap continues if you always change settings. I had the same trouble with the K7T Pro 2-A, but when I read some of Ed's stuff on the front I was able to get it to do what I wanted. BTW, I have one of those PCPower&Cooling power supply testers. They work fine, but they can't judge what your systems needs are, only that your PSU is functional.
