Hi POtempkin,
Thanks for your response, but I'm kind of computer
illiterate. What do you mean by computer specs. I tried
to email you but it came back. If possible please
email me with your answer. Thanks again, Sue Kiehn

Below is the original post.
For quite some time we have been having problems with the cpu powering up. In the beginning if we powered down and tried to power up within 30mins. The cpu power lights
and sounds would come on but no start up screen. If we waited 60 mins or longer before powering back up it started no problem. Now it has progressed to the same
problem everytime we boot no matter how long the computer has been shut down, except now
the only way we can get the cpu to completely boot up is to turn on both the power strip and the cpu at the same exact time. For some reason this combination seems
to give it the boost it needs to boot all the way. We have tried 3 different power strips as well as plugging the cpu directly into the wall socket, without success. I have checked all my connections inside the cpu as well as outside. The only other thing I found odd was when I plugged the cpu into
both new power strips the little red light on the power strips went out, like it shorted out and won't light back up again.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions
Thanks, Sue
