Hey all.
I'm having a problem with my PC not powering on after it's been shut down, additionally it won't wake from sleep either. The PC performs as expected when it's running, no glitches, no crashing, it runs perfectly.
If I shut it down, pressing the power button does nothing, the PC is completely unresponsive as if I was pressing the power button without it plugged in.. no response whatsoever.
When put into sleep mode, it sleeps as expected, the power button on my case pulses to indicate it's in sleep, but when I try to wake it, it's completely unresponsive. If I press the spacebar, nothing. Move/click the mouse, nothing. If I press the power button on the case, nothing. If I long press the power button on the case to try and shut it down, nothing. I have to switch it off at the PSU.
The PC starts occasionally when it feels like it, usually after being unplugged for a long period of time, sometimes >30 mins, sometimes it won't start after many hours and I have to wait till the next day. Sometimes it doesn't even start the next day.. there's no pattern here. It does seem to be getting slightly worse over time.
Here's a strange one. If I repeatedly flip the PSU switch and press the power button within a split second after, then eventually (maybe after doing it 4-8 times) it'll power on. Might be a clue here?
Here's what I've tried...
I cleaned everything (blew out the dust) and went through a process of elimination. Pulled the GPU, pulled the RAM, pulled the drives and then tried powering on after reinstalling each component. No change. I also took the PC into a different room to get it off the power outlet in my office just to eliminate the wall socket as a potential problem.
I thought it might be related to "fast boot", but when I checked in bios, fast boot was already disabled.
I thought it might be a problem with the power switch on the case, I tried the screwdriver trick on the switch pins on the mobo and it didn't start.
The PSU might be the obvious thing to point a finger at, but the PC runs perfectly fine when it finally decides to turn on. Additionally, if it was the PSU, it seems weird that it would have an issue coming out of sleep?
I'm stumped and no thanks to Covid, I can't take it to a store and have it diagnosed at the moment.
Any assistance is very much appreciated.
