I recently built a new comp w/ the following specs:

MB: GIGA 965P-DS3 (2.0)
CPU: E4300
RAM: 2GB Super Talent PC2-6400
PSU: 500W Seasonic S12

Standard Air Cooling

My problem is that sometimes when I reboot the machine, it fails to post - even with all default bios settings. All the fans turn on but there are no system beeps and nothing displays on the screen. If I attempt to reset in this situation, same thing occurs. If I power off and power back on within 5-10 seconds, same thing happens. The only way I seem to be able to get it to post is by completely turning off the PSU and waiting a few minutes then trying again.

Again this problem happens with bios set at all defaults. Any ideas what might be happening or how I can troubleshoot?

Also note, sometimes even when I have this thing OC'd at 349x9 I am able to reboot normally without a problem. It's really odd.
