This started a few months ago, but I rarely turned my computer off in the following months. Recently however, whenever I try to start the computer, my monitor doesn't load anything! I know it's not the monitor's fault, because I found out it only works when:

I push the button and instead of a quite hum and initiation noises, I hear a loud fan sound, louder initiation sounds, and then it starts. It's totally random and for the past day or two it hasn't been able to start, no matter how I turn it off or on, etc.

It's the only computer I can game on, so feedback is appreciated.
