Do any led's flash up when you power up???
If not maybe the power switch is wire into the reset switch?

pull your power plug out
open your case
remove the battery little round flat silver thing
count to ten put it back
should be reset to defaults now
sounds like your bios has been altered

do you have the power switch and reset cables in the right way round?

by this i do not mean have you connected them to the wrong part - but are they the correct direction with their + and - connections?

Hey,
Unless your already sorted I'd suggest one of 2 things, neither is ideal :(

Hopefully it is as suggested above, cables or lose connection somewhere, but I've seen the problem casued before by a bad PSU or a dodgy Motherboard.

Like I said, not ideal, because not everybody has spares to test with, but worth a shot if you can.

Hope you get sorted.
