Weird Startup Problemo.
 

I was talking about this in another thread. I turn my PC on and it says "No Video Input", but what i noticed is the Harddisk doesn't make any noise, nor do my USB devices switch on (for example, i have a Logitech Steering Wheel, when it turns on it usually calibrates and goes side to side, it doesn't happen). So i switch off, and then switch back on and it's all fine, i hear Harddisk activity and my Wheel turns on and calibrates.

This is very strange, it's like everything turns on, but nothing happens..... :uhm:

Little advice guys? Cheers.

So are you saying that this problem happens half the time you try to boot your PC? It's a bit confusing of a post.

The symptoms your desribing makes me think that for whatever reason your power supply isn't comming on properly, since it dosen't seem to send power to some parts of your computer.

But you can turn it on again, and everything is fine?

Strange.

P.S. 300th post! WOOOOOOOOO!

Yes, exactly what you said.

My specs are pretty good and i would assume they would be power hungry (see sig), and it's all running off a shitty stock 400W (Around that) PSU.

If that is the case, at least i know now, because i'm getting a new PSU soon anyway. :) Cheers.

From what I can tell it might be hardware confliction, but you didnt really word the problem correctly, so yeah cant really help, sorry.

What marvinmatthew said is what is wrong. ;) I think it might be power related.....might.

Re: Weird Startup Problemo.
 

Ahhh yes, could well be. :)
In fact now that I think about it, ages ago when i had that problem it disappeared when i got a new powersupply... odd...

Re: Weird Startup Problemo.
 

Ahh cool, thanks for the info guys.

Now i play the waiting game. I will get my PSU soon.:)

Sorry for bringing up an old thread.

But i got an Antec NEO 480 2 weeks ago and i am still having this problem..

Nothing really powers up, the computer does power up, but nothing shows up and my steering wheel doesn't calibrate and nothing gets displayed.

This is really bugging me, because i have to Turn On, Turn Off, and Turn back on my computer everytime. :(
