This is my first post at TechRepublic. If it doesn’t belong here, my apologies. Any suggestions where to seek help would be appreciated.
I built my first computer last week and successfully loaded the OS (WinXP Pro) and my applications. It ran fine for several days and then one morning I found it powered off. It would not turn on until I made several attempts, between using the front panel power button and the ATX power switch. When I turn on the ATX power switch, the power LED on the motherboard lights up. Over night it powered off again and will not power on at all. I still get a green LED on the motherboard indicating power. Any ideas on how I can trouble shoot this problem? If it is the front panel power button how can I work around that? Thanks.
