Hi, so today i started to have issues with one of my computers, computer decided to get stuck into a boot loop (tried reading a broken dvd drive and continue to do that indefinetly, never POSTED), fixed the loop by unplugging the drive, then i fired up the system again, computer was on but didnt POST until 1-2 minutes later (and a few reboots), then i turned the computer off again and started it, it didnt POST until 10-20 seconds later, which isnt what it usually does (normally it POSTS 2-3 seconds after the computer is turned on), and im started to get worried, is the mobo failing or is it the PSU that has finally given up on me?
TL;DR: Computer got stuck in boot loop, fixed it by unplugging the dvd drive, now the computer doesnt post until 10-20 seconds later, which is longer than usual, mobo or psu failure?
Extra info about the system:
Its has an Gigabyte EG41MF-US2H (socket-775) mobo alongside a Core 2 Duo E8400, 4gb's of RAM, 4 HDD's, 2 DVD drives (one is broken), an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, and an 10-11-year old 500w PSU.
Update: Computer is refusing to POST at the writing of this update, seems like it's trying to do something with the working dvd drive. Gonna unplug it.
Update 2: All DVD drives are now unplugged, now the computer refuses to POST, so i have no access to the computer.
