For a week or so, my computer had been locking up when I would leave it idle for more than a couple hours. If I turned it off and let it sit for a while, it would start right back up. Although I never saw any warnings, I'm pretty sure it was just overheating.
A few days ago, it stopped booting up at all. I cleaned out all the vents and the interior of the case with air, but that did not solve the problem.
At first when I tried turning it on, the fans would start running and the blue power indicator would light up, but nothing else would happen. Blank monitor. Now the power indicator light has stopped coming on as well.
I know nothing about hardware and decided to check here before messing around with anything. Have I burned out the power supply or the motherboard by waiting too long to give it a good cleaning?
