My PC doesn't start when I press the power button. I'm not sure whether it's the PSU or the motherboard.
I came home the other day and smelled that something is burned.. I pressed the power button and nothing happened (the network card light was on and green). So I let it cool down for a day. on the next day when I pressed the power button the computer showed signs of life for 5 seconds and then powered off. The next time I pressed it, it started working properly but no video output was displayed to the screen.. I thought there might be something wrong with the GPU, but when I pinged the computer from my other computer it didn't work as it always did, so I really don't know what or where the problem is.. I'm thinking it's the PSU but i'm not sure.
Any help will be welcomed
