power off power on problem


Recommended Posts

I have a Dell Dimension L566cx running W98. After I installed a US Robotics 56k* Voice Internal PCI modem, my PC will not power up unless I remove the 240v AC mains lead for at least 10 seconds (and then replace it). After that little process it responds to the power on button as normal.

I contacted Dell and they blamed the modem. I contacted 3Com (US Robotics) and they blamed the design of the Dell so I am stuck

If anyone out there has experienced anything similar and has solved it I would love to hear how you did it. It doesn't stopp me from using my system but it is a tedious nuisance.
