My system is not starting when clicking the power button. Today in the morning i clicked it few many times , atlast it started. When it started it works properly. A few days ago i had changed the motherboard. It usually appears in the morning!. My friend suggested that refreshing system every time we start and quiting may solve the problem. Do you have any suggesions?

Your power button is not working properly.It is a fairly common hardware defect.You will need to either take it apart to clean it,or get it repaired.

first of all, i suggest you unscrew and open the side cover of your CPU, then dust off the dirt on the power button mechanism. after that, turn on using that power button to see if it works. if not, look for another power supply and switch it with the one installed at your CPU. if it works, for sure your power supply unit has a problem and needs to be replaced. choose any PSU that has higher power rating than the normal one. good luck.

Thank you. I had already unscrewed my CPU and cleaned my RAM with a eraser. But still the problem exist. I will try your suggestion. I also think it is the problem of the power supply.

you had bettwr go and see a technician to help you alienate the problem. The lat time i had this similar power or pc boot or start up problem,my motherboard was broken and luckily it was still unfer warranty. I thinl you have to get it back to where you bought it esppecially if the pc is just new so typu can have it replaced.

But i think it is not the problem of the mother board. Because when there is a problem in mother board there will be a signal like 'previous overlocking failed'. Now when i start my system there is no any signal in my monitor. But i am sure that my monitor is working properly. More over, i had changed my mother board a few days ago. Do you have any other suggesions? I am not willing to waste my money by calling technician, if i can simply repair it by simple methods.
