I'm actually not sure where to put this. I guess it is a power issue.
This PC is 4-5 years old and I never had an issue with it before this.
Suddenly it wouldn't start. Flipped the switch in back off and on plus made sure the power cord was tight and then it came on. I thought maybe something was loose. But it happened again a week or so later, and kept happening more frequently. Now every time it's shut down I have to wait 12-36hrs to be able to turn it back on; it's kinda random.
When it's on it's absolutely fine, no issues at all. I've been leaving it on for 7-10 days at a time, although eventually it does crash and burn. I can even restart it from Start Menu and it's fine with that.
A couple of times (out of 20 maybe, when I had to wait longer and longer to start it) it did say something about "overclock failed". I actually have no idea if it was ever overclocked. I read someplace it could be the battery on the motherboard so I changed that out with a new one and all that caused was the loss of my bios settings! Very angry on that one because I have no idea what they were or how to get them back. And of course I'm still having this annoying "computer doesn't feel like starting today" issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.
