Weird reboot-halt problem


Hi all!

This is my problem:
I use a pc as router/server using Debian. The computer is a celeron 2.4GHz with msi 648f neo mobo and 256MB Ram. It has also 3ethernet ifs and 2 wireless ifs. When I shutdown it and try to turn it on again it won't start.The fans are starting but nothing else starts... I have to turn it off again holding the power button, wait for a little and then press the power button again... Usually it starts after that or after the next try. When I try to reboot it the problem is bigger as i have to try several times before it starts normally.

Can anyone give any reason for this problem? (and a possible solution too...)

this is probably not Linux specific.

Your bios is not initializing.

try getting the computer up and running and using a bios flash to update it.
