My old ASUS 64 bit computer will only start up about once per week. If I shut it down and try later, or tomorrow, it will not boot.
However, If I try it days later (or better still, a week), it will usually boot up and run normally. I am writing on it now.
I suspect the power supply is faulty, however, this one is only about 12 - 18 months old.
I have a spare power supply on the bench.
Should I swap it out and try to see if that fixes it?
