i purchased recently an assembled pc windows xp p4 2.66ghz processor.but often the cpu doesnot start when i switch on.when it starts i can compute withot any problem. i can not figure outwhy the cpu behaves in an erratic manner. will any one come to my rescue and suggest a remedy?smps is not at fault.

Wouldn't it be best to take it to the person you purchased it from as you're saying that you purchased it recently only. Maybe some wiring is faulty since you say it only happens sometimes.

it seems to be wiring problem

i dont think CPU is at fault

i think its due to the smps anyway take it to the dealer
