Hi Guys! My situation is as follows: My Desktop PC functioned properly for many years, now though, when I turn it on in the morning, it turns on fine, but after that, if it's turned off and on again, unless some time passes (usually 5-10-15 minutes), it just won't turn on, nothing will happen, no matter how angrily I press the power button. It's almost as though now the PSU needs some time to "recharge" to be able to turn on - should I just buy a new PSU?
Thanks in advance!
