Gary, i was just going to send you a message but I see Jeff W already listed my possible fix. I can't be sure but it sounds like you are starting up from the power button on the front of the machine? The power button on my machine stopped working for booting well over a year ago. It really freaked me out.It works? just like yours turns the fan on for less then a sec and then dies. However I did find out that the power key on my ADB keyboard powers it on every time. The power button on the case will still do a restart or turn off the machine.USB keyboards will not power on a machine only ADB boards work . I hope this fixes your problem. I was going to try fixing my power button but decided why bother. The list of things at my place to fix is endless nice to have one less thing on the list ;-) Will S
