Computer not fully booting sometimes

Post by cman21 »

Hey guys. Ive got another problem with my computer, not a major one, but one that kinda annoys me at times.

When windows reboots my computer (ANY OS).. 1/2 the time, it will restart, but it will stall there. No video at all, but i can hear the HD spin up. I have an Enermax 350watt psu.. Could that be the problem? ive heard that some older ones have problems with it, but i dont want to buy another one until i KNOW its the problem

Any help is appreciated :)

Are you overcocking? Sometimes heat will cause this so if you are overclocking try setting it back to normal to see if it helps or I'd redo the thermal compound between the cpu and heatsink.

Could also be the power supply, mobo, ram and of course cpu related. Post more specs then we should be able to help narrow it down.

Same thing happens to me when overclocked. The led on the monitor stays amber on a reboot sometimes. If I run at the stock speed, it boots every time. :)
