ok so I just built my new computer and for the first week everything was great.
it has started crashing tho. I'll just be using it and the screen will go black, the power light will turn off, the fans will stop spinning and if I push the power button nothing happens.
the status LED on the motherboard will still be lit up.
to get it to come back on I can wiggle the powersupply cables where they plug into the powersupply (its a modular one) When I wiggle the right cable the computer just turns on. Its the cables for the hd/cd/floppy
at first I could just wiggle the cable and it would come on, and then do it again in a day or 2.
now it is only staying on if I hold the cable, and its not always the same cable.
I'm pretty sure I must have gotten a bad power supply... or maybe its too weak, not really sure.
I was just wondering what you guys think.
heres a list of the parts I got, and I am also using a dvd burner and a 300gb ide hard drive and floppy that I already had before this computer.
