So here is the problem. Whenever my computer is completely disconnected from a source of electricity (ie. Power goes out or I unplug it) it will not turn back on. After it looses electricity and turns off, it doesn't come back on automaticly like other computers have done for me in the past. And, when I push the I/O button nothing happens. What I have to do is turn the power supply switch off then back on, then I push the I/O button again. Most of the time when I do this, again nothing happens. Somtimes when I do this the lights and fans will turn on for a split second then turn back off. Last night, the power went off and I layed on the floor next to my computer for 30 minutes pushing the I/O button, flicking the power supply switch off and on between each attempt. Finnaly, it just turned on, like nothing was wrong.
The computer will now run fine for as long as it is connected to a power source. I can turn it off, restart, all of that. But I can't unplug it.
Just this led me to believe that my power supply was bad, but there is one other problem. Once the computer finaly does turn back on, the keyboard doesn't work. I must restart the computer several times and in some cases replug it back in to get it to register.
This led me to believe that it could possibly somthing wrong with my motherboard. But i'm not sure and i don't want to waste mone on somthing that is not the problem.
If this has happend to anyone else or if anyone knows what the problem is, please respond. I don't think you need to know my system specs for this, but if you do just let me know and i'll post.
Thanks for reading.
