Hello,
I have a somewhat peculiar problem. For a while now, to boot up my PC I'd have to press the Power button several times until it succeeds; the PC then boots up normally as if nothing happened. However, the Power button is now not working anymore even if I press it a hundred times.
So I tried booting up the PC by touching the Power pins on the motherboard with a screwdriver, and that works perfectly every time at first try (I have tested this several times now).
From this I'd think that the Power button or its cord to the mobo is at fault here. However, the weird part is that when I put the PC into Hibernation or Sleep mode (instead of completely shutting it down) and waking it up with a key on my keyboard afterwards, the PC wakes up normally but the monitor sometimes says that there's no signal. I have checked the connections to the monitor and everything is fine (don't have another PC to check it). When there's no signal, I'm forced to abruptly cut the power to the PC, thus completely shutting it down. When trying to boot the PC up again (by touching the power pins), the PC and the monitor go on normally again.
What can I make out of this? Is it really the Power cord that's at fault here or the PSU? How can it be the PSU if I'm able to boot up my PC by touching the Power pins on the motherboard? And is the "no signal" problem of the monitor a seperate issue from all this or can this also be caused by a faulty PSU?
