Unusual start up delay
My main pc normally runs 24/7 however a week ago I happened to turn it off overnight.
On restart the next morning there was no bios screen. All the usual noises but nothing else.
I changed the monitor, the monitor cables, and even the video card. Still nothing. Left it turned on whilst I went out for 20 minutes.
Minutes after I returned it decided to boot into windows and has been fine since.
I have switched it off overnight several times since, and had no further problems.
What would be a likely cause of this event?
