My self-built computer has a problem with starting up. This problem started about a month ago and I've had the computer for about 3 years with some parts exchanged in the meantime.
The thing is if I unplug the PSU and leave it out for a while, then plug it back in, it somehow works again. Only after leaving the computer off overnight, the problem appears again the next day & I have to unplug, wait, plug back in to get it to start.
I thought it might be a PSU issue but I replaced it less than 1 year ago bc the old one died..
Also I recently added 16gb RAM (2x 8gb slots), to an existing 8gb RAM (2x4gb slots) which were the same chipset & Mhz. I thought maybe somehow this is causing a problem but removing one set didn't solve it.
Thanks in advance for any help
