my computer will not boot up!

I am having problems with my new computer.

System
I am running Vista Premium with plenty of memory and processor speed.

Symtom
Once i close down the computer or enter sleep mode I can not get the
computer to re-boot. In essence I press the power button on the tower (close
down) or the mouse button (sleep mode) and the computer starts up but does
not boot up. It just keeps the fan going at high speed.

If i turn the power off at the back of the tower the computer will start up
perfectly.


I have read so many differnet issues relating to power and sleep modes but
nothing that is specifically like this.

This sounds like a defective power supply (hardware), not an operating
system problem (software). New computer with problems out of the box =
take it back immediately.

Thanks. I have sent an e-mail to the comter shop where I got it from to see
if they had any suggestions but will send it back as under warranty.
