computer booting stops for 3 seconds

[bishnu_rath]

hi guys

when i switch on my computer ,it starts then suddenly stops for 2/3 seconds as if
someone switched off my power supply then boots up normaly.

i use a 300w frontech power supply.using a cabinet fan,a front panel display,a writer,a hard disk
isn't 300w enough?

i assembled my computer myself & i am getting this problem from day 1.

any help??

:roll:

@saROMan:
in addition to the avobe problem,when i connect my friend's 40 gb seagate hard disk to my system , the system boots up then stops & never get back to life.
then reset switch doesn't work.i have to manually switch off/on the power supply to try again.

after a lots of tries the system boots with 2 hard disks.
