occasionally, when i try to turn the computer on it won't boot. cd/floppy drives light up, but it doesn't go any further than there. all fans are working correctly. the problem also happens when rebooting. i end up having to repeatedly hit the restart button until it decides to boot. any ideas?

I have a problem like that too. Mine happened when I changed my RAM from SDRAM to DDR. I think it could be MotherBoard and RAM conflicts that cause it. I can't restart I have to completely shutdown or if i restart i have to hit the manual restart button once windows shuts down. But I think its the RAM and MB, or it could be other hardware conflicts for you. I don't know how you would go about fixing it, but I hope i've helped you identify what is causing it.

You could try underclocking your CPU a little.

all started when i put new 3000 cpu in, motherboard supports it, made sure bios was updated and everything. motherboard is Abit KD7-G.
