Hi, my pc starts when i plug it into the power brick. The screen stays black and i can hear the hdd stop spinning after a few seconds. I reseted the bios and checked the batterie (above 3V). Not sure what to check next. Maybe one of you can help.

@hmmm3 -- the Dell desktop and the Lenovo desktop in my home do the same -- as soon as electrical power is detected, it powers-on, does a very-quick POST (Power On Self Test) and turns itself off, if there are no problems found by the POST.  Perfectly normal.
