Hi all,
I often leave my desktop in the house while I go to college because I still haven't gotten an apartment/single suite.
What I would do is unplug every peripheral and turn off the PSU, and then put the case back to its box. I didn't think there was anything wrong with this because my computer ran just fine after a two month hiatus. But then I came back for Spring Break and I believe my PSU died.
Is there a way to properly store a desktop for long periods of time? Is what I've been doing a bad idea? Any tips would help since I would like to have it working again and have it not dead once I decide to take it to college next semester. xD
Appreciate it, thanks!
