    Ok so my computer was feeling sluggish last night I turned it off (via windows and clicking shutdown). I turn off speakers and monitor its still on (desktop shows the lights). I turn it off by holding power. Now this is where it all starts, in the morning I turn on the computer and there is no image no bios (nothing all black). So I start thinking ram or monitor. I took ram I switched monitors it was not that. I took the cmos battery and it didn't work. I after that thought graphics, processor or motherboard. Well I kind of gave up for the day however I disconnected some cables in night (also took the cmos battery) for about an hour give it another try and connect it all. It booted up. What I want to know is what could of been the cause of no changes were done (just happen from night to morning the problem)? Can it be my computer is hinting me its about to give out? Reason I ask if thats the case I would gladly like to look for a deal to get since black Friday is coming.

    This is something you need to ask at desktopreview, this thread will just get closed on NBR and you may or may not have gotten your answer.
