Can't boot up normally, always have to hit the reset! Help!

I have a problem a with a system I've been building.
Specs: Duron 750, Fic AD11
Whenever I turn on the computer, or exit from bios, or restart from windows my computer doesn't boot. My hard drive, cpu fan, and everything else powers on. The case is open so I can see the fan on the mobo isn't spinning. It doesn't boot right away and I always have to hit the reset button 1 or 2 times then it starts booting and I see the fan start spinning.

I've tried 3 duron 750 cpus on it. The first one was an unlocked cpu which had this problem and after awhile wouldn't boot even though I kept hitting the reset button. The second cpu I didn't unlock and it had none of these problems. Unfortunately I returned it a while ago. Then today I got another cpu and didn't unlock it and it has this problem. I thought that I had messed up the first cpu by trying to unlock which caused these problems. So now I have no idea what is going on because I haven't done anything to this cpu. Also this is my second AD11 mobo. I returned the first one after I tried out the first cpu because I thought it was the mobo's fault but then this mobo has the same problem so now I have no idea if its the mobo or cpu problem or something else.

Anyone's help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
 
VIA 686B south bridge, right? That's the explanation 🙂

Try increasing your I/O voltage to 3.4, 3.5, even 3.6 if possible. Might not correct it entirely but should allow you to boot "properly" much more frequently.
