Sometimes Computer Wont Turn On
I have been having a problem lately when the computer is turned off (also unplugged) from the power source when i plug it back in it will not turn on immediately. I notice the green power light light but no fan or hard drive activity. I can leave the room, come back five minutes later and it has booted up. I have waited as long as 2 hours for it to turn on. Any ideas?
The computer is a dimension 4400 with Windows XP home, 512 MB Ram and 1.6 processor. Any help would be appreciated.

scoclay,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
What devices do you have plugged into the system? Unplug all devices except the keyboard and mouse to see if the system will boot up normally.
