Old computer question, with update on page 3.
I got and installed my new 480Watt PS tonight:
here some pics of the ps
Here some of the sleaving over the main bunch of wires
heres one of the fan controller, I can control the ps fan speed, pretty cool
......However my problem is still there and just as bad. Do you think my Appartmen Electric is the problem, it has all the symptoms of a motherboard that is not getting a power good signal. What do you think, if you dont think thats the problem what else should I be replacing? If you think its the appartment electric how to I check this and what can I do about it? Is there a device I can buy to fix this?
However the voltages are better, except the 12v is the same as in the antec.

The PSU should generate the proper wattage.... but i could be wrong.

OK, UPS is hooked up, its not the house power, power supply or hard drive. Wouldn't a bad board act up during use. The only problems I have is booting up, I get the failed post? Once this damn thing in running it runs great. What should I do next?

Heres my temporary solution to this problem- I am not going to shut this thing down anymore. If it doesn't want to cold boot, then I will just let is run 24/7. Anyone see anything wrong with this till I find the problem?

I had almost this exact problem a couple of years ago. Turned out to be a bad memory chip. If I could get it up, it was fine. If it got turned off or rebooted, I might get it right up or it might tke all day.
Just a suggestion.

One more note, My ram is OEM Samsung ddr333 from tcwo, has anyone had problems or know of problem related to this brand ram?
