dimension 8300 doesnt like to boot
for the past 2 days, my 6 month old 8300 wont boot, until after several tries. i always turn power on the monitor first (so i can see the dell splash screen - in case i want to go into setup). when i power monitor on it comes on with a green light, then i push the power on button on the tower and it immediately goes to amber, as does the monitor. i hear no beeps and see no lights either on the front or back of the tower - except for the power on light which is amber. i power everything off and try again, no luck then the 3rd try, so far i have been able to get in. after it gets running things are normal and i can reboot with no probs, just after i power off for the day and when i try to boot again, it gives me difficuty. any nfo is welcomed, aloha

jbirdie,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
Try plugging the system directly into a wall outlet bypassing any power strips or surge protectors. You can also tyr turning the system on first and then the monitor to see if that will help.
