Hey guys, amateur builder here.

PC has several issues:
- Turns on after I move the computer case around, usually not after pushing the buttons
- The LED on my PSU only works when the computer turns on, it used to be able to turn on at the touch of a switch
- Checked in the case, the power switch wires are secured on the motherboard. I don't think it's likely these wires are messed up.
- When it turns on, the CPU fans work, the GPU fans work, but the monitor does not seem to sync with the tower itself
- Green light on motherboard works, my LED mouse has its light on when PSU is switched on

Could this be a motherboard or PSU issue? The PSU is 1.5 to 2 years old, the motherboard is a month old. Do you think the PSU is dying? Any educated guesses here? I have a big project to finish...Thank you!
