Hi Dylan,

I'd also try a reset having powered up.

My motherboard will not boot from cold (i.e. from total lack of power). 
I've read its a BIOS problem (some interaction with 64 bit processors). 
The fans come up but nothing else, no beeps or disk activity. Pressing 
hardware reset then starts a normal boot.

If I shutdown but leave the power connected then I can just power on 
next time.

I've been caught several time when there's been a power cut; I start 
thinking I've serious problems until I remember to use the hardware reset.

Chris
