preface: gui user.
recently i had to move my computer to another room, when i turned it
back on, i had to 'push the button' about 8 times to finally get it to
click 'on'. (it would make a little clicking noise, but not the
whirring noise that means it is starting)
to make sure i wasn't just being stupid about how long to hold in the
button, i tested it again later in the week by turning it off then
trying to turn it on again. same thing. it is running now, but i am
afraid to turn it off, not that i need to , but at some time in the next
ten weeks i'm going to be moving it back to my office and will need to
turn it off then, and what if i can't get it to restart,,,, or what if
the power goes out..... etccc.
does this sound like a power supply issue?
i have been running this same system with redhat for about 5 years now
and rarely shut it down (once a year? maybe).
if it's a power supply thing, can anyone recommend a reliable, cheap,
QUIET new one that i could get at fry's elec.???
thanks for any help.
