Good Point! peter is absolutely correct, Many MBs will not boot if the
CPU fan is not running or running too slow, Defineatly worth checking.

You might also look on the M/B for bulging capacitors. That is another
cause of delayed start. Try a google search to see what you would be
looking for.

Anything that keeps the standby circuit from being ready will stop the
M/B from starting the power supply.

Read the reviews for your motherboard on Newegg. Filter on the word "boot."
You will see you are not alone. People seem to prefer BIOS version 1105. You
might want to check yours. Power supply's probably fine.
