I have a custom made desktop which is 5 1/2 years old. The computer was working perfectly until I moved. After I set up the PC again, I couldn't consistently turn it on and off. When I did get it on, it works perfectly. I am afraid to turn it off because I don't know if it will turn on again, and I need it badly. I called Tiger Direct thinking the power button is bad, and they said since it is custom made they wouldn't have a replacement. I have all the original specs in the invoice from where I bought it.
In the course of working on this, I noticed a red fuse type switch on the back of the case under the area where you plug in the power cord. I have never noticed this before and see that it can be put in two different positions, but I'm not sure which one it should be in. It shows 115v
in its current position. Could this setting have anything to do with my power button problem?
This has been a great computer and I don't want to give it up, but if I cant fix it I guess I will have to. I originally thought I might have a bad power supply, but ruled that out because it did/does start sometimes. Maybe I have a wiring problem?
