My computer randomly doesn't start up from time to time... the thing is, it only happens when I move it.
Case 1:
-Built it, wouldn't start at all... the mobo power indicator turns on but nothing else works. After unplugging and replugging it a few times, it worked perfectly fine until...
Case 2:
-A week later when I took it to college. I checked all connections and nothing would work (except the mobo power indicator). I reseated the memory and it worked fine for a month and then...
Case 3: (here's where it gets odd)
-I take it home this past weekend, and it works fine. I decide to move it downstairs so that I can hook it up to our big TV so I can watch some avi/mpg movies. As soon as I try to start it downstairs... nothing (again, mobo light is on). I try everything and nothing works and then it starts up after about half an hour of trying stuff. I'm not sure what exactly it was that I did...
Case 4:
-Back in college (today) and I try to start it and no dice... and this time, it looks like it won't be powering up at all. The mobo power indicator is on, like aways but nothing else works. I've check all connections, tried different power outlets, reseated my memory a few times and even reconnected everything.
What could my computer's problem be? I don't understand why this happens when I move it... after I can get it to start once, it runs perfectly fine until I move it again. I thought a loose connection might be it but everything is connected very well.
Can any of you help? This is really more headache than I really need.
EDIT* New info:
I noticed that after removing and replacing the mobo back into place, when I pressed the power button, the fans for the CPU, GPU, and PS would spin for a little bit before dying. It only does it once but I can make it happen again if I unplug the power cord, let it sit for a while, and then try it again.
And sometimes, after it's been unplugged for a while, the PS LEDs light up (again for a split second) as well.
Is this new info any indication?
