tell me if im right?

OK so my other computer the other day the power button got stuck and we managed to get it unstuck. but now when we try to start it up like it will get to the windows loading screen and shut off like if the power was pulled..but i think the problem is with the button because it doesnt always shut off at the loading screen. but my dad is disagreeing with me, he says its a virus, but it only started happening when the button got stuck. if i am right would buying a new case fix the problem?[size=14][/size]

 samuraiReign.....  So ....ya....like have you like checked to see if like the on /off button is like no good ? .......LOL
Does that pc have a current working up to date anti virus program ?  If it has , then it is unlikely that it is infected ....but you never know .
There is a good possibility that the button is defective ........ but it seems to me that a replacement button is a whole lot less than an new case .......... Have you checked the button with a continuity tester ( ohmeter ) ?

i was playin with the button earlier and im pretty sure the internal part of the button is messed up everything else seems to be fine

Sounds like button time, then. Do you have the skills to fix this?  

[samuraiReign]

hah skills   nope

The button (switch in fact) comes together with the casing.
Pretty hard to get the switch alone, unless you get one from disposed casing.
Anyway I do have one if you need.

theres a discound computer parts store a few blocks from me i can probably just get a cheap case thats probably in better condition than mine  

thanks all

if u have an ohmmeter u can simply test the button, but if u want to buy a new case go for it. i recommend the ones with the LED's everywhere, they look sweet at night  .
