Hello, can only boot pc by pressing reset botton, changed battery stripped pc to bare bones to see if any fault of graphic card, ram ect. wondering if it could be power supply, can anyone help.

ive encountered this when my psu was on its way out, if youve got another try slapping that in and seeing if it sorts it out.

try takin a memory stick out and test it. then swap them round to test. always use the slot closest to the prossesor. and another thing to try. check the wire(sata or ide) to the hdd. this can cause issus like this too

tried memory in and out, and also replaced ide cable completely....thanks for reply.

Ensure cmos jumper is set into correct position, not the clear cmos position. refer to motherboard manual for further information

changed psu, checked cmos jumper thats ok.do you think it could be conecting wires from mainboard to on button on front of tower. but when does boot get the one beep and loads windows no probs.
