-pops- Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I think you've answered the problem in your title.Power supply units do seem to deteriorate with age/use and become less able to provide the extra bit of "oomph" (technical term) to get a computer going. I've known this happen on a number of machines - especially recently when previously it was a rarity.I would look at replacing the power supply unit. Assuming it's a normal desktop machine, the unit will be fairly standard ATX PSU which can be obtained in a number of maximum power outputs. If you're familiar with the inside of your computer, have a look at the unit that's installed already and get a replacement unit of about 50 (or more) Watts output over and above the present one.

-pops- Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm fairly sure that a cable fault would show itself by at least part of the machine not working at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
