Recently installed a version of Ubuntu as a dual boot system. The mobo is an FC, with a 145 watt power supply. Phillips 25 inch monitor.
Problem is this. The computer and monitor work correctly when plugged directly into the wall socket. However, if plugged into a power board, they will not boot. If a dlink 56k modem using a 12 volt power pack is plugged into the power board, again it wont power up. The same power board will run a 2000 watt heater with no issues. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Regards and a good festive season to you all Chris T
