My computer consists of:

PSU: Antec 380W Truepower
Case: Antec
CPU: AMD 3000+ Winchester
RAM: 2x512 DDR 400 Kingston
Mainboard: GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9
GPU: RADEON X800XL Sapphire
UPS: POWERWARE 1000KVA

The following problem has arisen after some months of use:

When I give power by switching on the UPS the LEDs on the keyboard
start blinking. If I try to switch on the computer the computer
doesn't respond. When the LEDs stop blinking and I try to
switch the computer the computer operates immediately. Some times
doesn't POST but most times does the POST.

If I shut off the computer and I operate it after some minutes the
above problem does not exist.

I've tried the following:

-Using a vacuum cleaner I took the dust from inside and outside the
case.

-I disconnected the UPS from the computer and I connected the
computer directly to the wall socket.

Both solutions didn't have a positive result.

Can you tell me what are the possible problems that may my computer
have and what are the possible solutions?

Thanks in advance.
