Hi all,

First time on this group, seems cool so I thought I'd ask for some help :)

My PC won't boot up properly, I'll typically click the power button in and
it will sound like its booting up for about 1-2 secs then die and turn off.
I have to hold the power button down for ages and click it frantically
thereafter and keep repeating this till it turns on. Also, and maybe of
importance.... I've noticed that when I am able to get the PC working my
clock is sometimes ahead/behind the real time. Any help please? I thought it
was the battery but a friend insists it isn't.

Check power connection to mobo,

check power switch,
check mobo headers,
I would, however, suspect the PSU itself.

When asking for help please list all your hardware.What PCI slots used
and the Operating system.

Enter your BIOS and find and disable the APM(Advanced Power
Management) and save on exit.Also what make of mother board do you
have?
If you need to get information about your system use Aida32,
