Hello, I am new to the community and I have a problem with my PC of 1 year.
It is an own build, done by a friend who now lives in australia.
I noticed quite a few times, that the power button sometimes woudln't work, but when i pressed it a few times it would boot up, sometimes i also had to hold it for 30'', and then it would work. For me it seemed, that the amout of times this happend increased alot lately, until 2 days ago, when i failed to boot it completely. The next day it would work again with the repeated pushing. Now it doesn't work again.
I tried to test the power button by "jumping" the power pins directly on the motherboard, but nothing happend.
Me, as an amateur, I guess it could be the psu or the mobo, but I don't think it's the psu, since the led on the mobo and cpu shine bright like a diamond, also, as soon as the pc boots, it can do everything, run extensive programs/ games for hours without problems, so I cannot really imagine that it would lack the power to boot. I tried pluging out some vents to reduce the wattage, but it didn't change anything. What are your opinions? Should I get a new mobo or rather a psu? Shall I hope that it boots one more time and then just never shut it down again?
It's just driving me crazy. Since it was working for so long I can rule out false wiring or a missing link. Something is breaking inside but I have no clue how to find out what it is. I'd really appreciate your help/ experiences
(and yes, i controlled all the wires inside)
Thanks in advance, and i hope you understood my english
