Hi, need some pointers please.
My desktop was on standby, I plugged in a usb memory stick and the desktop stopped, completely dead, and will not restart or give any indication of being supplied with power.
I suspect the psu is kaput, but how could a memory stick cause it to fail?
08.26 update, power lead was fully inserted, unplugged and proved 240 volts, reinserted lead and it restarted without me operating on/off switch.
But, screen came up and cursor [with eggtimer] would'nt move, also led indicating processor activity was off, left it for 10 minutes, still no joy.
Switched off and restarted and now seems ok, but is it on the verge of giving up?
