Okay, so first let me just say that i move my computer alot. I take it to my friends, so we can play games.

Recently, whenever i unplug the computer, then re-plug it back in at mine, or my friends house it acts all funky. As soon as the power cord is plugged into both the back of the computer, and the serge protector the fans turn on. Then after a few minutes the fans shut themselves off, and i can then push the power button to turn on the computer.

I've opened up the case, and have tried unplugging/taking out, and re-putting back in the video card, sound card, hard drive, and the cd-rom drive. After reinstalling the hardware, the computer still does that exact same thing.

What could be the problem?
