Computer down...
9 years ago
Been having a few issues with my pc.
At first, it would have trouble waking upi from sleep. The pc would start to wake up, power down then start up as if it was hibernating.
Then yesterday, I had an issue where none of my keyboards worked. (The mouse did work) I had to delate a driver for one of the keyboards then replug it in in order for it to work.
Then I notice my AVG isn't working, so I'm thinking a bug or virus got into it. AVG gets interrupted when trying to scan too. A friend showed me another auti-virus program and I got a trial of it. It scanned and found nothing.
Now today, my pc doesn't power up at all. Try as I might, I can't get the pc to start.
My first fear is the power supply has gone faulty and screwing up system files. If not that, then a virus could have found a home. Last thing it could be is the main hard drive is starting to fail.
Good news atleast is all my pics, art and PvA are on external drives which I'm unpluging as of today. Ill put them all back in once this computer mess is figured out.
Well, Looks like Im relaying on my phone to chat and netflix for entertainment for a while. Hopefully the pc isn't offline for too long.

While cleaning/dusting it, check the capacitors on the board (They're the circular things that look kind of like drums) If they look corroded, maybe with the tops broken open, or broken and listing off the board, then that's definitely an issue (maybe not the only one though.)

Assuming that's not the issue, if nothing happens at all when you try to turn it on, no lights or beeps or anything, then the power supply might have died, as generally with CPU failures the computer may try to start before quickly dying.
-
It most likely is not a virus, as those rarely kill computers completely, and I doubt it's an issue with the hard drive(s) due to the keyboard and AVG failing as well. (Though multiple problems is definitely possible, IE: CPU fried and took out something with it, happened with my old desktop. Or potentially a virus mixed with a dying component or something.)

I hope this at least gives you a starting point of getting your computer working again, if none of that works or something in this wall of text doesn't make sense feel free to send me a note.
Tha Anniversary Update has trouble with some Antivirus Programs,
aka they won't run properly or even the Licence gets removed by the System.
The whole Update is pretty eh... having big trouble with my comp so far
trying to get it up and running without freezing or endless boot.
I hope you're successful in getting things sorted out before too long.
