I'm selling my old computer (the specs below)and I've recently ran into a problem. it won't turn on every time. there's no ryem or reason to it. sometimes you can hit the power putton 20 times without it working. usually I have to unplug it (but not always) and that doesn't always work. I've tried I different cpu, memory and psu so I'm sure it's the mobo. anyone ever hear of something like this or know if there's a fix? it's overclocked, but it's rock solid

honestly I can spell...that should be rhyme instead of ryem and button instead of putton :p

This happens mostly when you're system doesn't get enough power.
420w should be enough though for almost every PC.
