  checked the settings and can't find anything amiss, so I exit setup and the
  system boots.
  I've changed the HD, removed CD/DVD drives and all external USB
  connected hardware and the problem still persists.  I suspect it is my
  motherboard.
  Has anyone ever experienced a similar problem and was it
  fixable, or should I just get a new mob?"

  My computer had a similar problem a while back, although it would boot after shutting the power switch down. I replaced the power supply and it fixed it right up. Hope this helps you. Lesa
