OK...I have a small computer problem...but b4 I replace any parts Id like to see what others think my problem might be.
When I 1st build my PC I...well..I broke it tbqh. Im not very mechanically inclined so I kinda bent some processor pins being too rough with it. Ever since, whenever I turned the computer on, I would need to wait 10 to 30 seconds after I pushed the button b4 it would boot.
I overlooked this for a while.
But...after bringing my whole computer to a friends house for a party...It stopped booting entirely. My 1st thought was that the processor went since I already bent the pis once and had to try and bend them back for it to work. I swear this is the issue and Im about to buy a new processor...but my brother-in-law says its probably the power supply, not the processor.
Now I dont know if he realizes that I bent the pins when I installed it, so that may be why he doesnt think its the processor. But I dont think its the power supply since I still have a link light on the NIC when the computer is plugged in...even tho its off and not booting.
So what do you guys think?
- processor?
- or power supply?
Also feel free to laugh at my misfortune if u must...since it is my fault to begin with XD
