I'm pretty sure that the PSU is broken, I just wanted to get a confirmation / other opinion on it.
For a rather long time, the computer has had trouble turning on well - having to stand for a while after turning the power switch on, turning off and on again, until it somehow 'stabilized'.
Now, after being away for a weekend, it just won't turn on - the screen does turn on, out of the same multibox, everything else works, I've changed sockets, power cables, plugs, slots. Nothing worked. I've even let it stand for several hours and then tried to turn it on, not a flicker of light. So I'm wondering - is that related to it.
Also, could other parts be affected if the power wasn't enough? I'm pretty sure that my HD is broken too, it gives blue screens CONSTANTLY, often had messages about BIOS being not able to find the boot device (the HD), the HD's name being wrong in the BIOS (it was just called 'hard drive' or something like that).
