    check connection to power supply. and try a different outlet. Also your PSU may start to be failing. Those lights are great indicators for showing current flow.

    What's the point of having a PC's and never turn it on?

    If you on it 24/7, it's mean you fully utilise your PC's and investment

    Turning a PC's on and off is actually very bad.

    1.What's the point of having a PC's and never turn it on?
    Never said or implied that.

    2.If you on it 24/7, it's mean you fully utilise your PC's and investment.
    If it's doing some actual work 24/7.

    3.Turning a PC's on and off is actually very bad.
    No generally heat build up from never turning a computer off is worse. Only servers in server type enviroments are designed to run 24/7.

    I totally disagree. Computers are designed to be always on.
