Q: I have this problem whenever I have something to add or delete from my motherboard (ie RAM, AGP graphics card, sound card). What happens is I try to boot my computer and the heatsink fan makes a half turn and thats it. The mobo light is still blinking red (meaning mobos). After this I have to mess and remove things from my random PCI, AGP slot to eventually boot the PC and the fan starts spinning and the computer starts working fine. My last problem is the same except this time I have disconnected everything from my mobo with the exception of the PS. Ive already tried all possible combinations (connecting / disconnecting drives, remove / add cards one by one) and still no go. Can someone please explain whats at fault? I even got a new heatsink / fan, cleaned the heck out of my diet / mobo and still nothing. The following are my specs;
ePox EP + 8KTA motherboard
VIA KT133 chipset
Athlon Thunderbird 1GHz PC133 proc
256 Ram
Aureal Vortex2 Radeon 7000 AGP Sound PCI
ATI vidcard
2 IDE hard drives, 2 optical drives (CD-ROM / CDRW)
Thanks in advance.
Best Answer: Lot of small syntax mistakes.

Re:Sounds like a bad supply, Had same problem and was confused out of my mind because there was no pattern to why it was happening then got to a point where I had to hit it to make it work then it stopped all together.
I have near the same setup with alot more or had more hardware and it ran fine with a 300w supply.

Re:pull out the motherboard and make sure nothing is grounding it to the case, othe than that, with the problem you discribe you could have a small crack in it but i doubt it

How strong/weak is your power supply?
might want to try technical support, you'll only get pic requests in this category.
The PS is 300watts
by any chance are those WD hd's? i've had a problem like that, and it was apparently caused by the hd. i switched to a maxtor hd, and rma'ed the wd's. seems the psu in that rig didn't like wd hd's.
I doubt its the WD harddrive or any harddrive. I've had this problem ever since my first Maxtor 10gb… then with the IBM 45g..and now I have the IBM & Maxtor but doesn't matter because even if i unplug these drives and just leave the PS intact it still won't start.
