Comment: The computer will not start(no bios or anything) about 1 in 10 times.
Very annoying.
What sort of thing could cause this.
Every other time it starts and works very well.

Reply: (edit)Sounds to me like a PSU problem, could be the actual PSU that's faulty, the button on the case may be dicky or the actual wiring from the button to the motherboard may be dicky.... I doubt it's the cmos battery as this just stores the bios settings and doesn't actually contribute to the general post (Power on self test) - memory checking etc etc process... Regards DB
