Alright, so I'll buy a can tomorrow and let youy guys know what is up with my computer later this week.

Thanks to everyone for their help!

Something else you should do is to replace the thermal paste between the CPU and heat sink.

OMG, the sky is falling, help me 

[Quantos]

I kind of thought you'd appreciate that one.

Doesn't take people long to figure me out, huh?

You're almost as predictable as I am.

Cool, thanks alot for your help!

No problem, let us know how it works out.

So, I come back home from work today only to find out the computer powered off again. (It happened to me yesterday. I came home and it was turned off). Only this time, I cannot get it to start again... could this be a power supply problem?

[Allan]

So it would seem.

[Snickers]

Any suggestion other than buying another PSU? (I have yet to clean it off).

Borrow a known good one of the same or greater wattage and swap it in there...
