Is it a PSU fault?
Last response: in Components
I am facing a problem from past week,please help me out identify what exactly
the problem is.
my pc is running fine from past 2 years, but a week back i am facing a problem..the problem is whenever i shutdown my pc and try to switch it back on again next day or after few hours, the pc won't power up
, it sometimes powers up for split second and stops instantly , cpu fan stops moving.
so i keep on pressing power button of case again and again and switch power supply on n off and after 10-15 minutes of trying to power on..it gets started and pc starts normal boot procedure.. during all the time i see green light on mobo as usuall.
I am suspecting that Psu may be faulty or dieing ,If any1 faced same problem or guide me what the problem exactly could be,it would be very helpful.
thanks.

Take out your PSU. To test your PSU, take a paperclip and bend it in a "U" shape. *UNPLUG FROM WALL* Insert one end of the paperclip into the pin correlating to the green wire. Do the same with the other end on any of the ground wires (black).
Plug it into the wall, if it powers up it's fine. Watch it and see if anything happens over time. Post results.
