To anyone that can help-
I recently began experiencing some problem with my desktop. The first thing is, and I don't know if it is related at all, is that the fan on my heatsink started to go. It slowed down enormously and made funny noises.
Then, one day my computer would start up but not post or go into windows. I got a new fan and put it in. It seems to be working fine, but then a couple hours later I was online and my mouse froze suddenly. A few seconds later it would jump to the next point on the screen I went to. My keyboard wouldn't work, and I couldn't shut down except to just hit the power.
That was yesterday. Today, it starts up just fine.
Could this be
1. Power supply starting to go down the crapper
2. A residual problem from the heat sink fan dying?
3. Motherboard issue? (I thought it might have been contacting the case somewhere, but that doesn't seem to be it)
Any insight would be apprecieated. Thanks
