I have an Epox 8rga+ that I bought for a friend. When I put everything together it worked like a charm. Then I turned off the power bar and it all fell apart. The computer wouldn't power on. I suspected the power supply as the problem (it is a cheap generic that was tossed around in shipping) so I checked all the cables and flicked the power supply switch on and off. Eventually it worked! and it would continue to work as long as I didn't mess witht he power supply or the surge protector, but as soon as I switched off the power supply it wouldn't work. Mind you this is wihle the LAN light and mouse light were functioning when given power by the power supply. I got a new power supply and it wouldn't even power up the lights! So I used the old cheap one and tried to figure out if the switch was shorted by using a screw driver...... but to no avail... it was still random operation. what is it!!!! BIOS? how do I fix it..... and what is the explanation about power supply pickiness!?
