Power Problems
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2003 2:18 am
My PC will not power up after it has been shut using the OS (Win98se) or with the power button. If I just do a restart, no problem. It will only power up the hard drive and CD-ROM drive and I never get any video. I have to remove the CMOS battery for about 5 minutes before it will repsond to the power buton again and boot up with a video screen, so I have to stop it and reset all the bios settings, it reboots and all is well until I shut it down. What could be the problem?
