A while before today.. I tried to turn on my computer and nothing would happen Tried like 20 times.. checked if plugs were in etc.. but nothing. A while after that I tried again but this time I got a response.. a scratching electric sound kinda thing for a moment. Then nothing.. And I tried later and voila it works.. with a little scritchly sound again for a bit.

I don't want that happening again Anyone know what the issue is?

It booted properly? Did you check if everything is connected properly? Try switching wires for different ones to check if a wire isn't working properly.

Wires in your fans? Touching parts? I'm not entirely sure.

Most likely the power supply. Make sure your little switch in the back is set to 110V (if you have one), and make sure there are no loose connections coming both into the power supply and out of the power supply (in the computer). Something could be shorting out too.....

Not only your powersuply, check your "Reset" and "Power" connections to the MoBo as if they are loose you can have a similar problem.

I don't think it's a problem with the wires or switches or anything like that. I like quadruple checked that. But it's weird because it keeps happening randomly.

I'll press the start button and I won't get a response. So I'll try an hour later and it'll work. And once it just shut down while the computer was on.

I think there's something wrong with it inside.. I'de open it up and check.. but I wouldn't know what to look for
