The past few days I've been been having an issue. Sometimes after putting the computer to sleep or turning it off it will not turn on when I hit the power button. I turned my power strip off and then back on and this remedied the issue temporarily, the computer would start after doing this.
Now though I just arrived home and the computer will not start at all. I've tried cycling the power, I've opened the case and checked all the power connections, etc. My mobo has power and reset buttons in it but they will not start it either. Everything is lit up like its receiving power though.
Where should I start looking for the fix? I recently installed an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD and its been fine, running with no issues for maybe 3-4 weeks. Could this be the culprit? I would think the computer would at least start of this was the cause, even if it wouldn't boot. Would a more likely culprit be the watch battery on the mobo? Something else entirely?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
