Did you build this PC or was it store-bought? It could very-well be the power supply in the "instant-on" section of the PSU. But most Power Supplies use a simple relay circuit to engage the switching power supply. So my first bet would actually be the motherboard isnt grounding out the relay the way that it is supposed to. You can check it with a multi meter for continuity.

try to plug in the PC in the wall socket NOT the power bar.

the power bar might be the trouble


first... if you have a ON / OFF switch on your power supply box... switch it to OFF.

Second ... unplug the power cord from the power bar.


Plug the power cord from the PC into the wall socket.


turn the switch on the power supply to ON.


now turn 0N the computer normally.


If all that doesn't fix it........

( not sure of the OS system your ruining ) but when the PC starts to load, go into "SETUP"

change the setting to DEFAULT SETTINGS ....
Press "save changes"

try this and please get back to us to let us know if anything helped.
