Oh my god. This is kind of an emergency. My system has never given me any trouble at all. Today I could sleep and decided to work. When I push the power button the computer strangely turns the case lights on, the motherboard lights on, I think no fan spinning and no monitor sign at all. It stay like that like for 10 seconds the it turns off, stays off for about 7 seconds and turns on, and it goes like that for I dont know how long (I did not dare to leave it doing that for long) untill I go and power the PSU off in the back.
This is extremely weird. I once heard these mobo's used to do something like that in rev. 1.0. But I have more than 2 years with these mobo and never did it. Plus mine is rev. 1.3

Please help. Thanks a lot

It sounds like a PSU problem, but we need to get it running if we can to do some tests. Look inside and make certain all the wiring connection are fully seated and all plugged in the right places.

Sometimes something gets messed up in BIOS, for some reason and it starts doing stuff like that. When everything gets set back right, it all works fine again. As I always say, it's a computer. Sometimes they have a mind of their own. I think they all have gremlins in them. ;)
