Why  - If AC is not removed immediatly after shutdown, Soyo SY-K7VTA
will not powerup? Wait 5 min, 1hr, 1 day, several days depending on
start responce, it finally responds. This started on first power down
and continues after changing power supplies (200Watt, 350Watt,
450Watt) 3 times. Reboots fine on shutdown reboot, also if power (AC)
is cut immediatly after shutdown (fan stops).

Hi gedyolf, 

Did you ever find a solution to your
power problem with the Soyo motherboard?

Hi there gedyolf - sounds very like a problem with the board itself.
One thing you might want to check is that the clear CMOS jumper is
correctly set - I've seen in the past that this can stop ATX boards
powering up.

Will let you know
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with a IBM PS/2 Server,It baffled me for
days why the power cord had to be removed and put back in and then
randomly it would boot up then never boot again.( I was sure it was
something to do with the power cord no jokes nothing made sense)
The problem was the CPU was loose in the socket,with a quick wiggle of
the CPU it started faultlessly every since.
May be worth a look in this area.
