problem with pc

j4vier

hey all
im having quite often a problem with my self assembled pc

sometimes i turn it on and boots fine, but sometimes it powers on and nothing shows up on the screen

has anybody encountered anyhing like this before?

i generally turn it off and on for ages, and then sometimes it works again but i cant figure out what the problem is

Have you checked all the connections to ensure nothing is lose?

j4vier

i have, everything seems to be plugged in

as said check all connections

also check that nothing is faulty like chips cpu ram etc.

also water damage

is it old ? maybe too old or maybe not enough power going into it ?

j4vier

how could i find out if one part in particular is faulty?

its weird cos it happened a few days ago and all of a sudden it worked

and now same thing happened again..
its 3 yrs old, its a mid tower and the power supply is 480w

have a check of the ram chips that their not loose...same with other components

i really dont know..
this time i just inserted and removed the ram a few times and it worked.
