I usually leave my computer on 24/7. Last night though I shut it off. When I went to turn it on this morning it wouldn't even POST. It looked like the power was fluctuating or something because the power LED on my case was flashing randomly and so was my mouse sensor.
I have an ASUS A8N-SLI deluxe which has caused me nothing but trouble since I got it almost 2 years ago. Mostly it won't recognize SATA hard drives. Anyway, I figure it's either the power supply or motherboard.
I have an OCZ 520w modstream power supply which I've been using for two years. I also have an old thermaltake 480w powersupply but it only has a 20pin connector for the mb and the asus takes a 24 pin. Anyway, I connected the thermaltake using just the 20pins and a sata harddrive leaving everything else unpowered and the same thing happened with the flashing LED and no POST.
So, I figure it's the motherboard and I'm happy to go buy a different one tomorrow cause I'm sick of all the problems with the Asus one. I just wanted to see if anyone else had any opinions before I go out and spend money.
