Hi, my PC has been playing up for a bit. When I press power switch nothing happend, totally dead. I fiddles about with it for a bit, turning it off, unplugging it, waiting for half an hour before plunging it back in. Eventually it decided to work.
I used it for a few days turning it off a few times and then it happened again. Did a lot of fiddling and ended up removing a firewire and blackmagic video card. This seemed to do the trick so figured it was a duff card.
Then a few days later it happened again. This time removing and reinserting graphics card seemed to do the trick.
Finally it happened again, now nothing gets it working. I tried unplugging graphics card and using inbuilt, still no joy. finally I removed all the memory, and with no memory or any other cards it is still dead.
I am now trying to work out what to do next. Was wondering what people think. Is it the PSU, could it be the CPU, or the motherboard. Was also thinking it may be the power button, was thinking of getting a new one and trying this.
All advice more than welcome.
