Hi
I have been having this issue intermittently for the past six months. Sometimes computer will power up, fan will spin, but will not boot. I have brought it to a repair tech for an emergency repair and got charged $140 canadian for diagnosis, $80 for cleaning and $40 for thermal paste and to add missing screw to mother board. Although the computer worked at the time I brought it back home, the issue was never corrected. Here are some details

- After research, I found this temporary fix that works every time to get the computer booting i.e. unplug all cables, hold power button on computer for 30 seconds, replug alll cables, power computer ON
- I understand that releases static electrictiy accumulated within the parts
- Myself, I never get static chocks in the room my computer is in
- This room is in the basement, naturally more humidity than rest of house
- I have a vinyl floor in the basement, no carpet
- The problem occurred over the past six months, both summer and winter
- I had noticed a pattern where this perhaps seemed (?) to happen while I was working on my computer while wearing rubber sandals, and it would not (?) happen if I was barefeet or in socks
- Now the problem happens even if barefeet
- I have a General Electric GE 14096 3000 joules power bar/surge protector. It has two status lights (protected, grounded). These are properly lit.
