You probably need a specialist to clean this up. Something was plugged into your house that isn't even in the shop yet. Maybe it's just the mouse or the keyboard causing trouble.

My dad has a computer in the living room, so I moved mine there too and plugged it into the same place as his one. I used his mouse and keyboard and monitor, plus his wifi receiver because i wanted to test games while there. It still gave me blue screens. Oh right, the original post said something important: my pc had freezes ever since i bought it back in 2020. They happened every six or seven months until recently.

I have nothing in mind right now. It could be something tiny or weird that you'd never think of finding anywhere else and wouldn't even believe is possible. I had a friend who bought a new computer and it wouldn't work. He went to the shop under warranty, and they said everything was fine, but every time he tried turning it on at home nothing happened. He called me for help and told him to bring the machine over... there it worked perfectly! After many days of trying all sorts of fixes without luck, we finally figured out it was the mouse causing the problem. That mouse worked on other computers, and that computer worked with any other mouse, but when he put that one specific mouse on his PC, it wouldn't turn on at all.

Can I ask a simple question? When at the store did you see if the repair shop had the computer lying on its side while testing it? If so, it seems to fix itself in a strange way while he was working on it. If your hard drive is mechanical and feels fussy, installing it vertically only makes things work better horizontally. I found this when fixing an HP and Dell machine where the drive started acting up going down instead of sideways. Lying flat also takes some weight off the graphics card, which can help too. Not saying it's about your power supply, but I have built many PCs before and they ran great until I took them to my shop. Then, suddenly everything went blue screen upon arrival at home. Basically, if you pull out a new power supply from a different brand or model, all is well again. A funny thing is those specific power supplies that gave me trouble here in the shop have worked fine for years now. Between your PC and your dad's PC, his power supply just handles wall outlet voltage pretty easily; it was good or bad there too. Also, maybe how you push in the power button versus how the repair guy pushed it might be a clue. Sometimes they get stuck between latched and unlatched, which can cause all kinds of problems.

The PC was standing up right when I tested it out. Mine has a hard drive called an SSD. I have some friends who are helping me figure this problem out. One friend said the electricity is "dirty," and another said something like your power supply unit (PSU) needs work too. If that's what it is, I don't know how to check inside my house or if the stuff has dirt on it because I'm not sure where to look. But for the PSU part, I can try fixing it myself, and if that doesn't help, I will ask a friend from the shop to swap out the part. The button problem is confusing too; never did it ever stick or get stuck with me so I really don't know what's wrong with that one.

Check your wall outlet for polarity and grounding. Just use a cheap tester: https://www.amazon.com/Outlet-Teste...cphy=9011555&hvtargid=pla-2281435178338&psc=1 After that, try swapping your power supply with a better one. Based on what I see, the nox hummer is for pre-built PCs and only has a 2-year warranty. A good PSU lasts 7 to 10 years. I had similar problems too, so the fix was replacing the PSU.
