A few months ago i had a series of troubles with my pc, which ended up in changing my power SUPPLY to a moderately cheap one, but which supplied the wattage it was supposed to, and changing my motherboard from a MSI MS-6758 to a SMALLER ASRock P4i65H with most of the former motherboard's capabilities.

The computer worked fine for a while, until it started doing something strange. Only sometimes, when i turn it on, you can hear all the fans starting up, but after a SECOND they stop completely, it stays silent for 3-4 seconds, and then it starts up again.

This only happens sometimes, and only when i power up the computer. At the time i thought it was something about the power supply. Eventually, it did break down, as in it's fan stopped working, so i BOUGHT a Thermaltake 450W. But even after this, it still continues to stall on occasion when it boots up.

I am at a loss as to what COULD be malfunctioning. Any help is highly appreciated.Power On Delay / Boot Delay---Is this option in your BIOS?

If so,choose 'disable.
