So my beasty PC has decided to stop turning on.
The motherboard is getting juice, and when I flick the switch for the power supply the lights dim so it's getting juice charged to it.. but when I press the power switch it just clicks - nothing turns on or starts up.
PC has been sitting unused for a few weeks, but other than that I can't see any reason why it would stop turning on? I had it hooked through a surge protector but it is rather old however the protection light was still on like it should be... Any ideas on a fix for this?
I'm thinking I'll have to pull everything out and give it a thorough cleaning throughout - my fear is the motherboard bit it somehow while it was sitting with juice attached to it.. maybe a power outage somehow damaged it although its unlikely...
