I had an overheating problem which caused me to take apart and clean my components and then re-load my XP-Home operating system. The computer has an Athlon XP 3000 processor and a 500 watt Ultra power supply. My problem is that after a normal shutdown by XP, the system will not re-boot. If you select the re-start option in XP, the system re-boots normally. If you turn the main power off(on the power supply) and then press the "on" button on the case- the system re-starts. Does this sound like a problem with the case switch(Ultra) or possibly the motherboard? Any solution?
Sounds like a power supply problem although I have seen the same thing with a motherboard that is beginning to fail. Try a differtent powersupply, that would either fix the problem or eliminate it.

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty
One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up
Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA
the leads from your motherboard to your hard drive make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty
make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they are probably old and faulty ?
hope this helps
