The other night because of the weather I unplugged my box, have done this b4 with no grief. In the AM it would not start, pushing power button created a momentary on and off kind of like if one just holds in the power button. Let it sit figuring I would look latter and when I came back it started but took a couple of power offs to actual boot and then I got a bios message that I was not properly shut down and bios was running in safe mode, enter and exit bios and all is well. Have not shut down since. clock was on so I figure battery would be OK. Have not checked caps yet, this mb was changed not to long ago because of bad caps, have a replacement fresh from Asus.

I am reading this as a possible early warning of either MB or PSU failure, any observations appreciated. fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Last week I even forgot how to ride a bicycle.
