Hi, so I have this problem with my computer when I wanna start it up.
So, all of my computer's wires (central processing unit, 5.1 sound system, monitor) are plugged into a power strip (like this one http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/7153/prizacuprotectiegembird.jpg ). Whenever I leave from my computer for a longer period of time I shut it down and also switch off the power strip. The problem is that when I want to start the computer, after I switch the power strip on, the computer won't start, and I usually have to wait around 1-2 minutes, before it will really start. I'm thinking it may be something electrical either with the computer power supply or the computer case.
