I was having problems with my machine, which I just built about 3 months ago. I would hit the power button and the power light on the case would give a quick flash and the CPU and GPU fans would give about one rotation then nothing. If I hit the power button again nothing would happen. So I would turn the PSU off for a few seconds then try again. This would get me the same results 5-10 times until I would get lucky and the machine would start up. Once up the machine worked great. No problems at all for how ever long I had it running. But after turning it off it was back to the same dance to get it going again.
Everything in the build was 3 months old with the exception of my OCZ 600w power supply and my hard drive.. After trying about everything I could find on the google machine I decided it must be the power supply.
After picking up a new PSU and testing it I found that was the issue. I have had the new PSU in for a few days now and done a bunch of cold starts and no problems...
I am disappointed that my OCZ psu died. It was a nice PSU and only 3 years old. I always kept it clean too...
Oh well.
