Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I'm on the verge of buying a new power supply....but I'm not 100% certain that's what's going on.
Here's the situation:
When my computer is turned on - I have no problems at all. It will run and run for hours. To me, this would suggest my power supply is fine.
But, when I shut down my PC or when Vista goes into 'sleep' mode or whatever it is and I come back to the PC - it won't 'wake up' or turn on. So, in frustration, I've smacked the case (where the PSU is) and the lights on the keyboard will flash on for a second and then I can press the power button and it turns on.
The only explanation I could come up with a bad connection or a short or something and smacking it knocks it all 'into place' again; but it never dies or stops working while it's running - it just has trouble turning on or waking.
Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should do?
