mobo sometimes won't boot???

[redpappy]

Here is my problem, I'm running a fica PA-2013, with a amd k6-2 400, 128 SDRAM. If I shut the pc off, it takes any where from 15 min to an hour to get it to boot back up. My first thought was power supply was starting to go, So I had put a new one in, still having the same problem. I've ran out of ideas on what the prob could be. figuring the mobo, but not sure how to test that theory, and if it can be repaired or not....I've swapped cases, battery...any help would be appreciated. Thanks...:confused:

Did you try a different Harddrive?

I've put 2 different hard drives in, tried another processor, still same problem. I'm thinking that it is the mobo, but not sure on how to test/find out if it is the mobo or not. I either get power or I get nothing. If I get power everything boots up normal. I don't get any beeps, lights or anything otherwise.

I had the same problem wit an old super 7 motherboard,
it would only come on if i turned it on, then turned it of, wait a sec, then back on. A dude told me it was the battery, so I installed the battery but it still did the same thing. What i discoved is that the battery Case/holde was broke, I jus soldered a new one it.

Hope it helpss!!!!:)
