replaced PSU
I have an old Pentium II desktop that the kids use. It runs Windows 7. No internet connection on that machine.
Yesterday evening my daughter said she presses the power button, and it blinks a couple times, but the computer doesn't turn on.
I put in a different PSU that I had salvaged from an even older computer, and the computer came back to life.
I went to sleep feeling good. Then my daughter tells me today that the computer died again. Exactly the same symptoms.
What's going on?
