Got a fault on the old ASUS desktop. Running Win7.

For ages at start up it has said CPU fan fault - but pressing F1 gets it
going and it's fine afterwards. The CPU fan seem to run normally, and I
tried replacing it.

But now, press the power button and it doesn't even get to the start up
banner.

Main fans and CPU fan running, though. But not the PS one. Press and hold
the reset button makes that run. Release and it stops.

Play around and it will sometimes boot but crashes soon afterwards.

That sort of quirky result is often due to bad caps on the motherboard.
Easy to check by eye, look for electros with bulges on the top.

LOL ...the "all-knowing", senile "mastermind" from Oz just struck again!

FLUSH rest of the senile asshole's usual troll****
