Computer power issues

[Norwegian]

Whenever i turn off my computer, i have some issues turning it on again;
The power cable coming from the PSU going in to the motherboard seems to be loose. This results in the computer not powering up. I then have to open the case, and then wiggle the cable a bit and then the computer turns on. What is the issue here?

Is the connector completely in the socket? It has to go in far enough that the locking latch slips over the nub on the side of the header.

Yes it is, but the GPU is like "too wide" for the cable. But yes, it is completely in the socket.

GPU? I thought it was the motherboard's 24 pin or 4/8 pin socket you were talking about. Can you post a pic?

Ops, i said the wrong thing. Ignore the GPU thing. I am posting a picture soon.

Here you can see the power cable. I don't know why it keeps "unplugging" or whatever. (Sorry for the bad image quality, red is such a difficult color)

If it is physically unplugging, it can only be because the clip isn't caught like it should be. And the cable looks to be in a tight bend under a bit of stress. Take the connector out and see if the clip is bent too far out to allow it to solidly catch the nub on the header.

If it isn't physically unplugging, just loosening and causing you to wiggle it... the problem may be a loose wire in one of the pins. When you wiggle the connector to re-seat it, you cause the wire to make contact again.
