I've been trying to use my desktop for the first time in a year (keep desktop at parents house when i visit) and i noticed these problems in this order:
1. the power switch on the back was off. when i turn it on, the power supply comes on, not controllable by front power button.
2. i can't turn it off with front power button (even if i hold it for a long time)
3. seldomly the reset works and it boots up
4. it'll freeze then the screen goes black and the fan stays on.
5. I have two fans, the power supply, and an adjustable thermatech fan over my chipset. Both never turn off
6. after going into the BIOS to change things, it froze up and i had to turn it off by switching off the back power switch.
I'm thinking of these scenarios: my PSU is done; my BIOS is telling the psu to never turn off; my RAM is going bad.
Am I close with those guesses or does someone have a better idea?
thanks
