Hi Everyone, I’m facing a bit of an odd problem with my PC. It’s a few years old but has always been reliable. Recently, it won’t turn on properly—it sometimes needs me to press the power button a few times before it starts. Once it powers up, fans spin and I see a 00 code on the LCD. Pressing the power button down and turning it back on usually gets it running again, though I often have to do this several times before it works. After booting, the CPU runs around 25°C at idle and about 45°C under load. I’m fine playing games without issues, which makes me wonder if the power supply isn’t the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’m not ready to upgrade yet, though.
