    Booting problem

    Hi, im trying to fix a dell 8400 for my freind however i have met a strange problem.

    The pc wont boot without resetting the cmos, then it works fine. However turn it back off and the cmos needs to be reset again.

    Without the reset the psu and f ans dont even spin up and no lights come on apart from the aux power light, showing the psu is getting power.

    Any ideas??

    Thanks, neil.
