Booting Machine



I always started my system by:



1. Turning on the switched surge protector which started the monitor

2. Pressing the start button on the front of the computer



The machine would then boot.



I replaced the old power supply with a new one that has a rocker on off
switch and I am now having trouble. To start the same way as before, I now
have to turn the power supply rocker switch on and off a few times to get
the machine to boot. Once started, all is fine. I also now have to do the
same thing to get the machine to wake up when in the sleep mode.



It has been recommended that I replace the power supply, but everything
works fine after the system boots.



Before I replace the power supply, I would like to know if there is a
procedure to start a system with a power supply that has a rocker on and off
switch.
