Lazy mobo

[Darel]

Hi guys.. so I recently got my mobo back because the previous broke, it started maybe 1 week after I got the first one. When I pressed the start button to turn on the computer, it took a few second for it to start, I thought well take your time... but then one day it didnt start anymore. And today the new one.. same thing.. I got a new/old G41m-p33 combo from msi. Anyone have this problem too??

Yeah, my P35 Neo does that as well, although mine starts up, but then shuts down, waits a few seconds, and then comes back up as normal.

I attribute this to late 00's motherboards in general, they were all quite quirky in their own ways.

I sort of have this issue with my Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5. Sometimes I will press the power button and nothing will happen. If I come back at a later time it will start right up, but there are many times when it won't turn on(this mostly happens if its been put too sleep or hibernate). I haven't tried a different power supply, but I doubt its the issue(since with multiple tests it comes out fine). My fix is super dangerous and you should not do it, so don't unless if you are YOLOing it. When my PC won't turn on, I will remove the 24pin while the power is on(as in the power supply is on, not the PC), and I will hold the power button while I plug the 24 pin back in. There is usually a spark and that is my sign to "ram the connector back on" and it comes back to life. Its an odd unnecessary problem/fix, but its what I have to do when my motherboard is acting up. I haven't tried putting a momentary switch on the green/ground pins, but I will give it a try the next time it happens lol.

Time to move up to Core processors maybe?

 

Mobos have gotten way better the last few generations.

 

Despite Intel stalling with single digit performance gains since Ivy Bridge, mobo manufacturers have to keep making their products more robust and feature rich because they are in a cutthroat industry.

lol.. soo helpfull ty :rolleyes:

Could be, but I am blaming Gigabyte lol. Every bios I have used with my board has had problems, so yeah .
