Do you ever experience boot-up problems with the KT7A-RAID mobo? My system specs as below. Duron 800 is NOT overclocked.
I am frequently unable to boot my system. After pressing the power-on switch on my casing, nothing happens. Meaning fans won't move, HDDs won's spin, etc...Totally no power supplied to all components. I am using a AMD-Certified Wintech 300W PSU. Tried another 235W CWT PSU also same result.
I have also tried to configure all components part-by-part, starting with bare mobo with CPU, RAM and Graphics card. Adding each component and test if system boots. But addition of each component works flawlessly and system boots normally each time!! It's only when I try to power-on system after system has been off for long period(eg. cold-booting system in morning), then will the system be unbootable as decribed above.
The only way I can boot the system is to plug out some cables(eg. ATA cables), then re-attach them and system will boot!! Pulling out the power-cable that connects the wall electrical-socket to my PSU, then plugging-in again will also boot the system!! I am **** freaked-out by this menacing problem!!
Help?
