Re: Mystery Problems, Leads to XP Failure

In the past few days I have noticed a sort of flicker when I turn on my system, Ill press the button and it wont turn on fully. The lights would only stay on for the duration my finger was on the power switch. I tried this at two different power sources, and both had similar results. I had never really had that problem before and assumed it was just the cord or socket I plugged into. To make the system fully activate I would have to hold the power button for 2-3 seconds.


Coming to the conclusion that possible power fluctuations thru my case was corrupting my data I decided to go into the case and disconnect the power to front LED lights on my PC door. I have since not noticed a hiccup on startup and can activate power with a normal button press.

I have only recently noticed that sort of power on problem in the past few days, and it seems to have been fixed with the turn off of the LEDs. Could have freeing up power distribution in my system and freeing up the PSU's workload have had any sort of fix to the corruption of data I have been experiencing over the past 2 years?
