Shuttle XPC Start Up Problem

Leblanc_2

In the last few months I have taken to switching off my computer and peripherals at the wall socket before going to bed. Now when I switch the computer back on the next day there is a time delay of about 2 minutes before the computer commences boot up.
Initially there are no lights or leds whatsoever, then hey presto 2 minutes later it comes to life. It lights up and off it goes.
Any ideas?

If you know how to access your BIOS you could try going in and performing a 'load optimized defaults' or 'load failsafe defaults.' This might fix the problem if it is caused by some weird BIOS setting combination.

sounds like psu cap prob , battery on board.

it does sound psu'y or possibly a loose connection inside. If the former, even more reason to turn it off at night, they can set on fire. Sleep easy though, it's rare.

Many thanks, I will probably change the PSU after I have a go at the bios.
