So for some reason my HTPC when I turn it on it just sits at a black screen. After a few tries I have figured out that I have to actually hit the switch on the power supply wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Only then does it actually boot up properly. Anyone have any ideas where I should start to look? If you need mroe info let me know what exactly.

Did you install any BIOS updates?
If I remember correctly there was an issue with the "Instand On" bios update.

I don't think it is the psu. I installed that instant on crap and now when i hit shutdown it restarts then hibernates. Really confused as to what I should have it set on... I just want to boot it like a thing. Want it shutdown unless I hit the button.
Also I did not even see a bios update at all.
