Hi, I have an older machine that I am hoping will continue to keep me going until my ordered build from PCS ids ready (3080 availability holding that up) But I am encountering stalled boot ups on a more and more frequent basis, which is normally resolved with a press of the reset button, and bootup then runs as expected. Is there anything I can do to find out what is causing this and remedy the situation?

Solution
I'm tending to doubt it's the PSU a little more than I was.
I would power down and reseat everything....plugs...cards....memory...I wouldn't go as far as the CPU.
An intermittent connection can cause what you're seeing.
