I feel I should preface this by saying I'm not very knowledgeable in computers.
My girlfriend and I went away to Iceland for 10 days, switched off power strips to make sure the apartment didn't burn down, got back last night and now her computer won't boot through the button on the case. When I try hard-keying through her MOBO, the computer boots, but it seems a bit weak, and all but 2 fans run normally. 1 spins slowly and 1 doesn't spin at all. It's possible we may have had a power outage here while we were gone, but I'm not sure why that would have affected anything unless the power strip is faulty.
From what I've read, it seems like the power supply should be swapped, but I want to get some second opinions before we buy a new one.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
