Hey guys, this morning I realized my computer isn't turning on.
I'll give you all a quick run through.
Basically, 6 months ago everything was fine with this computer. I went off to university for 3 months before coming back in Christmas. When I came back in christmas, I noticed there is no signal on my monitor even through my computer turns on. Luckily, I could plug my monitor in to the spare receiver thing. I'm not techy so I'm not too familiar with the terms. Everything was fine after that, I just assume after having not used my computer for 3 months it might have gotten loose or something. I'm telling you this part just in case loose switches or buttons could come into factor for this problem.
I went back to uni for another 3 months, and I just came back home a week ago. Everything with my computer was fine, I was still able to play all my games so the graphic card was fine too. However, after using my computer for a week, this morning it wouldn't turn on. I pushed the power switch several times with no response. I'm led to believe that this is most likely a power supply or motherboard problem? And if it is a motherboard problem I could be looking at a costly replacement?
However, what I did notice is that my Asus motherboard has a green light. If I turn off the power cord, the green light goes off. If I turn the power cord on, the green light comes on.
Does this mean it's most likely a power supply problem or the switch is loose?
