Computer Starting Up Issues

Hi Guys ,
Having a bit of a problem when starting up the PC. Maybe 50% of the time when i turn my computer on the beep to show (im guessing) that the motherboard is kicking in isn't making that sound, which causes nothing to show up on screen. Also when the beep doesn't happen my keyboard or mouse or controller doesn't light up but when i press the reset button on the tower it works straight away after . I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this issue as its pissing me off and also got me worried that there may be something wrong with my computer ! The USB driver ports seem to be working fine , my display screen is a Samsung smart TV ( would this happen if it was a proper monitor ?) , the connection from the graphics card to my screen is HDMI. Everything turns on when i launch the computer (lights ,fans , etc ) but like i said half the time the beeping sound doesn't happen to start the bios up. Im also using an SSD to hold my operating system on if that makes any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated !

The mobo starts up ( power wise fine ) , because the light to my graphics card turns on and the fans start up , and the fan to the cpu all starts up , anything connected to the mobo starts up ! so im guessing it isnt that :/
 
The beep is the post beep, before it goes into bios it quickly checks the cpu, RAM etc if you start it there will be led's lighting at these points on the mobo before it posts. It makes that sound when posting which is the beep and loading the bios up.

If its not making the post beep that means it wont allow itself to post therefore you will get no signal or no bios etc. Therefore that leads to saying that if it does start up second time around the RAM and cpu, hdd are most likely fine. I would say it could be the PSU most likely not delivering enough power to something first go.

And it will light up regardless if you have RAM, HDD, or even CPU in.

What PSU do you have? doesnt say in your signature.

id also run something like this: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=810&sid=3&lang=en

just to make sure the HDD is ok.

I have recently upgraded from an old 450 watt to the corsair RM850 a couple of weeks ago :(
 
Did you have this problem before you swapped over psu's. Would be better to put this in the desktop section. You will get more help that way.
