I have been using my self-built computer (with an Asus Motherboard and Windows XP Operating System) since December 2004, and have had no serious problems until a few weeks ago.
When trying to start up, by pressing the power switch button, sometimes it will start straight away, but mostly needs from 10 to about 30 or more presses before it powers up. Firstly, I suspected the switch, but have changed the small switch with the connected lead to the motherboard pins with no success. I used the switch/lead from my previous computer, but I could not swap the PSU, as it did not have the same motherboard connector.
Could someone tell me if the switch triggers a unit on the motherboard to set the Power Supply Unit working, or is the trigger within the PSU itself?
