Please log in for more thread options and does not shut down (power off) when I shut down from Windows or hold the power button. To be clear, when the computer is restarting and I'm still in viewing the memory test and other pre-Windows messages, and I hold down the power button, the computer restarts instead of shutting down. The only way to shut it down is to put into off mode the switch on the back of the case, near the power box fan. I assume there is a problem with my power supply box. Is there a diagnostic tool to test the power supply? Is this something I need to replace? Or is this a motherboard issue (Asus A7N8X)? | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Mainboard or PSU could be hardware issues. Could also be something asserting the "Wake" signal like a network card or modem, so disable any options in the BIOS settings that could wake the PC. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Now the computer won't boot. The fans start to spin, the hard drive
begins to churn and then, suddenly, there is a click and the the hard drives go quiet and then start spinning again, and then there is a click, etc. On the front of the computer, the green light turns on, as does the DVD drive light, but then the lights turn off momentarily when I hear the click. Is this clearly a power problem? Do I need to bring it to be repaired? | |||||||||||||
