Ok, I have this weird problem.
What a surprise.
The past two days, I've had problems with my computer turning on. I've noticed that if I take it completely apart and change something and then turn it back on, it doens't want to come back on, or if it crashes (too high oc, etc) it doesn't like to come back on. But this is the first time that I've had problems with it turning on after I shut it down normally.
Last Tuesday I forgot to turn on the pump to my H2O system, and it boiled out of the Tygon. But everything survived. I decided that I'd use the power strip to turn everything on/off (that way I couldn't forget the pump). I've been doing it for a few days now, and as soon as I shut it down normally it doesn't want to turn back on.
I know that the mobo is getting clean power, because all the little LED's saying "good power" stay on all night. But, if I pull the power button thing off and short the 2 pins, it still doesn't come on. Sometimes if I disconnect the power from the PSU and plug it back in, it'll come back on. Sometimes it won't come on even if I do that. The past 2 days, I've gotten it to turn on by disconnecting the mobo power header, plugging in a cheapo PSU, and it turns on. But....that's also a hit and miss, sometimes it'll turn on with that, sometimes it won't.

<---going out of mind!
PSU: Enermax 431watt Whisper manual control
Mobo: SOYO Dragon+
CPU: AXP ARNGA-Y [email protected] (155*10.5)
Vid: Gainward GF4 Ti4200 128MB
TV: ATI-TV Wonder
According to MBM, here are my volts: (would paste pic, but it's bigger than 300*300)
Core0: 1.78
Core1: 2.53 (what's this?)
+3.3: 3.39
+5: 5.02
+12: 12.34
-12: -12.11
-5: -5.46
That's all I can think of for right now---any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
