A problem with a pc

[theofficialgibbs]

So I’m not sure what forum this should go in so putting it in this one. I built a brand new pc from scratch and it has been working perfectly for a while (3 months) but recently it has started to shut down randomly with on the RAM still on. Sometimes it won’t turn back on with the power button is pressed sometimes it turns back on randomly. Not sure what the problem is and I don’t want to mess around with it and end up breaking it for good cause getting a replacement is spenny as most of you already know. Some help would be really great cause this is slightly worrying. Many thanks.

Does switching the power supply off then back on change anything?

That happened to me to. Turned out it was a broken 24 pin atx power cable, and whenever I shook it too hard, it shut down and showed the sleep LED

@theofficialgibbs Have you tried giving the cable a little shake ?

[theofficialgibbs]

@Faisal A I removed all cables from the power and mobo and slotted then back in and now letting it run to see it it shuts off

[theofficialgibbs]

so this is solved ( i think) must have been a loose cable due to my fat fingers not pushing it in hard enough

anyways thanks @Faisal A for your help and @fasauceome for the the small but useful input.
