PC Works but sometime it doesn't start anymore

Nov 4th, 2009

Hello good people!

I have just build a htpc. The mohterboard is a ga-ma78gm-ud2h with an AMD X2 250 Processor, it has a 1G samsung harddisk, a Infrared USB receiver.

The PC seems to boot just fine when it has been unplugged from the mains. But when I shutdown the pc and want to restart it, it just doesn't start anymore. I have to unplug and replug it from the mains and after that it will start just fine.

Does anyone know where I should start looking?

Thanks a lot for you help!
