I built a pc using a foxcnn 6100 k8ma-rs mobo. but I am having to push
the power button to switch the computer on 2 may 3 times to get it to
boot up.

I have been in touch with foxconn and they told me to flash the bios but
the only trouble with that is that the version they told me to use is
older than the bios drivers that's on the mobo at present?


has anyone got any ideas, should i flash the bios?

what should I do?

Possible power supply problem.

That would be my first thought. I hope the OP didn't re-use a power supply
from an earlier build. OP, please post the exact make and model number of
your power supply in this system. -Dave

think i might have found the problem.... when I was checking the
connections I noticed the sata cable was loose(at the hdd end). looks
like i'll have to renew to a better sata cable

Yes, often just sliding in the HDD can cause a poor connection.

Worth checking also is the SATA-type power connector is very weak - the
plastic splits very easily and the lead/wires can be quite stiff. I had one
split - not easy to see fine cracks in black plastic.
