I recently built my wife a new system using the Asus P4P-800SE motherboard. Everything works fine and it is a solid performer...except for one thing. After sitting for awhile (overnight) it refuses to turn on from the main power button. The system will spin up and fans spin, etc. but there is no video whatsoever. Hit the reset button and it comes up with no problem. Also, if sitting for a short time it turns on with no problem from the main power button most of the time. Temps are very low and there is more than enough PSU to go around. BIOS is latest version. Anyone have a clue about this problem. BTW, I RMAed this mobo for this problem, as well as others, and the second board has the same behavior (not the same board, it came from a different retailer).
Specs are :
Asus P4P-800SE motherboard
P4 2.6GHZ Northwood
2x512mb Corsair XMS 3200CPT DDR 400 RAM
PNY-6800 AGP w/ Zalman 700 AlCu (problem occurred before this mod and after)
Fortron Blue Storm 500W PSU (very solid unit I highly recommend it)
1 160GB WD SATA HDD
Lian Li PC60A Plus Case. (Used on another system with no problem)
