    intermittent (mechanical?) power-up failure

    I upgraded my cpu, ram and mobo about 1 year ago and reused the case and psu and old drives.
    Recently it would not power-up - no lights fans or beeps
    I checked that all connectors are seated (they were) but discovered that the problem seems to be mechanical
    It will power up for several days, then fail. I bump or move the computer and it powers up.
    Once powered up it runs normally for hours until I shut it down.
    I’m guess psu or motherboard. I’d like to rule out one and replace the other - hopefully it’s the PSU
    I welcome all informed guidance.

    Sorry but you have post on a tech forum asking for help but have provided zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.

    Is the computer a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the CPU, MB, the RAM ( including the amount, number of sticks and speed ) add on video card if one is used and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable folk to better help you.

        Being that the OP revisited the forum but chose not to acknowledge my reply this thread will be closed.
