Hello people. I am in a duel with some system mistakes, and the result of these is quite disturbing. Computer is freezing without any announce. I had to deal with that sooner or later, so I started with computer case, where I could see something very unusual. Green led lights, the power signal I guess, I don't know, are constantly flickering. When I turn the little black switch off for a while, it happens again but it doesn't start immediately. What is this?

This indicates that power source is not OK. This also indicates that power supply is near death, and the third possibility is that few capatitors are gone. It is not as much easy to replace them, so in third case, you will be forced to obtain mobo replacement. Power supply is easy-to-do replacement and shouldn't be too expensive. Before you try that, connect power cord to some other hole.
