Ok so the last several weeks, perhaps once or twice a week, my computer won't turn on. Results cary, but sometimes I can press the power button multiple times and it will eventually turn on. Others, nothing happens until several minutes later it randomly boots up. A couple of times it has randomly turned off, once or twice a few seconds after I have turned it on.
Now when I say my computer is "off" there are no fans running or anything only the mobo LEDs. When it turns on the fans work and everything. Even with this problem, I would say my computer runs fine 90% of the time. I am using it right now, and have been using it in several intensive games without apparent temp probs.
I have reseated RAM, as well as the CMOS battery, replugged in several cords, attempted to boot it with the mobo power button when it's "acting up". The only thing I haven't managed to do is try and jump start the PSU when its messing up. Normally I only have a few mins before it will turn on by itself. However it's only acted up twice since someone mentioned jump starting it.
I am thinking of getting a tester from a friend, but I don't know how effective it will be especially since it is running fine now, and if it would work what it should be capable of. Any ideas?
