Computer randomly wont turn on?
So it started a week ago. I tried to turn my computer on and nothing happened. My dad took it downstairs to clean it out and try to get it to work again. 2 days later, I randomly went up to it to try to turn it on it see if it worked, and surprisingly, it did. So we brought it back upstairs and it was working fine. The next day it didn't turn on again until I came back 4 hours later and it started working. Since then it's been running fine. Until I now, a week later, I try to turn it on and nothing's happening again.
I don't think it's the power source because the TV is connected to the same one and it's been working normally. The monitor seems to turn on too, but not the keyboard or mouse. Whenever I try to turn it on, nothing happens. No sound or light.
Anyone have any solutions?

I know; in my case I gave up because that computer was a piece of crap. I could of easily taken out the hard drive and transfer the data over to a different computer. Of course I would have to delete the virus files that infected every single file on the computer. Then I would of just cleared the entire hard drive then reinstall the OS.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY trying to get it repaired. It's probably an old computer too, so just get a new one.[/quote]

If the mouse and keyboard power on, and the monitor does too, it's the hardware inside the PC that's the problem. Motherboard short, PSU failure, RAM failure. There are many many possibilities
Clean it out mor/e thoroughly, it's gonna surprise you, but it actually works, dust pr/events the PC from turning on.
