WOW.. This is MESSED UP!

Ok I don't have any special bios boot up options like mice or keyboard options turned on....

I've been having a boot problem with this system: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=27&threadid=1789868

I was chasing the cats out of the computer room (curious devels) and I've noticed and confirmed (you're not going to believe this) that if you stomp in front of the computer....

IT BOOTS UP!?

Contact bounce.

Looks like you've found a new way to boot But seriously, the PWR ON plug is probly loose, or the CMOS battery is loose in the socket.

More than likely your CPU HSF is a bit loose or too big and when you jump, it loses contact enough to reboot. Try laying down your computer and bounce around, and see if the same thing happens.

Yeah I gave them both a hard push and now the computer is booting perfectly fine........ strangest way to ever trouble shoot a computer- JUMP in front of it to check for errors!?

lol.... my jaw has dropped
