Hello everyone. I have a REALLY strange computer problem. So let me explain.
I have recently bought TWO new computers (specs below). Now the problem is, that when I turn on the UPS and press the computer switch, they just do not work as if there is no power or something, but the UPS has power. It gets stranger. I tried to diagnose the problem and here is what I did/found.
DIAGNOSING PROBLEM STEPS
1. At first I thought it was the power supply so I switched it with a brand new computer (since I bought two), and same result.
2. I eliminated the UPS and plugged the computer power supply directly. Still the same problem.
3. So then I just plugged the plug in another outlet and it worked. The computer switched on and stayed on without any problem.
The next day, I went to switch on the computer and the same thing happened again. I switched the outlet and worked. This has been happening most of each day (when I turn the computer on in the morning). But now, one of the computers is not turning on (changed outlet and everything). Some time one computer does it, and other times the other computer does it. There is no pattern.
Yesterday I plugged in another computer in another room and it worked just fine. This morning, the same thing happened to that computer. I don't know what to think. Maybe there is some kind of computer ghost.
Any suggestions? I'm thinking its a power problem (electricity). An if its an electricity problem, how would I go about to solve the issue? Any suggestions on that?
