Hello,

I have a strange problem. I push the power button, the drive lights go on, I
think that I hear the hard disk spin and then nothing. Nothing on the
screen, no beeps, just nothing.

Out of pure fustration after trying a dozen times, I hit the reset button,
and lo and behold, the computer boots normally.

This is now how I have to turn on the computer: power button, wait, reset
button.

Anyone have any ideas what's the problem?
