ECS K7VZM with Thunderbird 900 Mhz and 96 Mb PC 100 memory
System boots fine after much diddling. Unfortunately, about 1/3 of the time I go to boot the system and I can hear the hard drive start up, but no beeps and no video. I go to shutdown or reset but there is no response (I have the power button set in the BIOS to Instant Off). I pull the power cord to turn in off, plug it back in, hit the power button and voila it works perfectly this time (it never refuses to boot twice in a row). The power supply is only 250 watts but I find it hard to believe that that could be the problem. Any other suggestions to check out?
