Hello,

My rig is an IBUYPOWER model BB931.

i770 intel processor
1080 nvidia geforce gpu
16 GB memory
Liquid Cooled

So, sometimes I have to press the power button on the top of the rig many, many times to get it to turn on. Once on, it's fine. I have no problems. Sometimes, it'll turn on with just one press of the button.

But lately, I'm having to press it alot. Like I'll play a tune in my head and press the button to that tune....that's how much I have to press it. Eventually, it'll click on.

What's going on? Please, I'm very new to computers. I'm getting worried it just won't turn on at all anymore....

*Note - when I first purchased it at my old apartment, every ONCE IN AWHILE I'd have to hit the button twice. I thought I just didn't hit it right, but now that this is happening, I realize that may have been the start of this problem*

Thanks for the help.
 
Its the button that is a bit faulty. Nothing dangerous :)

What you can do is to open up the case and follow the power on button cable down to your motherboard and see if the plug is pushed all the way down on the connector. I am 99,9% sure it is but you never know.

If the day comes where you cant power on the computer with the button anymore just get a new button.
