Whenever i attempt to power on my computer without repeatedly hitting enter my tower stays powered on but my monitor light simply blinks (no image) and it doesn't boot at all.

Ive reset all of the settings in the "cmos?/bios?" settings what in the world can i do to fix this ?

extra note :
(I recently ran a program to delete replicate files and it found shell32.dll as a duplicate and stupid me not thinking deleted it.. i managed to run the recovery cd and fix it but these problems have been occuring since)

bey0nd, SWAG, could it be hibernating and require 'Enter' to wake it? Look at your settings?

During normal POST, you shouldn't have to hit the enter key. Is there a BIOS error your receiving?
