Computers are fun
Well my computer was dying the last few days. Out of nowhere it would just shutdown (especially if compiling a new package and the cpu was running 99% load) but the power light was still on. I had to hold the power button in a few seconds for it to ‘really’ shut off. Then after turning it back on the HDD’s sounded funny spinning up and would take a few hard power off and ons to get back up. Then only to shutdown again. I replaced the power supply yesterday as well as added some new case fans and all is well again. I figured the PSU might be the problem because of the sound the HDDs made spinning up, sounded weak and like it wasn’t getting proper power.
At least it was something simple and not a dying CPU.
