PC not starting up right away
So for the last week nearly, every time I click on my desktop nothing happens. I make sure all the cables are tight, etc, try and still no go for about 5 minutes.
I currently have it plugged into a power bar which I click off at night that is shared with a lamp, monitor, and printer. The power bar goes into a wall outlet shared with a 5000 btu AC, which I usually run all night and shut off before clicking on the power bar in the morning. At first I thought maybe it was because I had the AC directed towards the area the computer is in and it was making it too cold to start up (the plate on the back was really cold when I felt it one morning). I've since switched the direction the AC blows in and moved the PC higher, but it's the same thing every morning. Also, I can run the AC during the day/evening when the PC is still on and it doesn't affect it.
Any suggestions? It's an Acer bought in Oct 2009 from warm-cc-acer-dual-core-4-gb-640-gb-hdmi ... -a-804838/this deal if that helps.
