Poll: Abit KT7A Raid..HELP...unreliable boot

I don't know if the problem is the PS or the MOBO.

I turn on power at powerstrip and all is well. I push the pwr button the case and the CD, and HD spin but I get no POST...I get nothing.

If I disconnect the power cable from the back of the case and reinsert it it will boot almost every time. huh?

Any Ideas?

Try increasing 'I/O voltage' in the BIOS - you may need to raise it to 3.5 or even 3.6 V to get it to boot.

I've had this no boot problem with 2 KT7s - I sent one back, because over the 1 month I had it it just got worse and worse, until it wouldn't boot at all even at 3.6 V.
