    well its starts up after a bit of power button spamage and once its on it stays on just fine doesn't crash or anything =/

    Processor : Intel Core™2 Duo Processor E6700 2.66GHz w/ 4MB Cache
    Motherboards : Asus P5B-E w/ DualDDR2 800, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, SATA II, PCI-E x16

    It's some crap with Asus P5X-E motherboards. I have this problem and don't know how to fix it

    If anyone says "hurr durr it's the power supply" it so isn't, I changed mine from 450w to 750w and same thing.

    I had this problem too. Turn off your power supply, then a split second after turning it on, press the power button.
    Tell me if that works.

    Wafik just because it wasn't your PSU doesn't mean it won't be his. It could easily be any of PSU, power connectors on motherboard, power switch on the case front panel, etc
