I'm trying to determine what exactly is causing my pc to fail to power up intermittently and I'm caught between the powerswitch and the psu. At first this manifested itself by not turning on when I pushed in the button, I would only get power if i pushed it umpteen times.
Now I'm essentially having to jump my motherboard pins each time I want to turn on my computer however the power switch still intermittently works from time to time if I flick the mains off and on again.
I'm at a loose end because as soon as I jump the mobo my system appears to run fine for hours and I've been playing games and all sorts with it.
I've tried swapping the reset and power switches to no avail and I'm convinced now that this has to be coming from the psu which I have had running stable in my current build for several months now.
any help appreciated
