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.
Just curious was your computer always on?
Yep, it's been on for 684 days since he bought it:DQuote:

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.
mine is usually on 24/7 except when every now and then but did it with my old pc i had for about 3 yrs and never had any problems

Never said or implied that.

If it's doing some actual work 24/7.

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.Quote:

We leave our shop PCs on all the time but I turn my home computers on/off and can't say I've seen any reliability issues directly attributable to either strategy.
What's your thinking behind the "always on" approach?
me... well, i just leave it on just cause. no real reason. that and the fact i'm ALWAYS dl'ing something.Quote:

Power management systems have been built into computers. I see that as one of many aspects of a design for maximizing efficient continuous use.
