I have this machine that will in the middle of the night turn on and try to boot up and then shut down and boot up and it goes on and off like that until I unplug the ac cord.
I installed a new power supply but the connections were really poor as cords were real short. (Did the old paperclip test to see if fan turns power supply on and that turned on fan in both the old and new supplys). Tech suggested power supply was working in both the old and new but not positive.
Now just the blue power light turns on and doesn't boot to software. Put in old power supply and it logged onto windows and I was using explorer and surfing the web. Logged off and was never able to boot again. (only blue power light goes on)
Any ideas as to cause or should I look for a recycle bin? Do people buy these old towers?
