    Have to press pc power replacement switch several times to start pc


    Installed pc power replacement switch...but have to press the switch start button several times to turn pc on.
    Connected another one..have similar problem.

    Totally puzzled...the only items connected to pc is monitor,keyboard and mouse and ethernet cable and speakers.

    The replacement does work...the only connectors i have not connected to motherboard is Reset and Hdd ready.

    To be correct i can use pc for say a day...turn pc on next morning with no problem..but turn pc on again in afternoon..nothing...have to press the replacement switch pc on button 20-30 times to fire up pc.

    What is causing this erractic behaviour ? Getting very frustrated with this issue.

    Thank you
