I took apart my computer to yank some RAM from it and put it in my new computer, and in doing so, made some loose connection somewhere. I don't think that I zapped anything because it was cold and foggy weather, and I touched the computer case to ground myself. When I tried to turn the computer on, the hd would spin up and the fans would turn on, but it wouldn't even past post (beep), and I could see nothing on the screen. About an hour later, I got fed up with the computer :evil: and punched it, or in more less violent terms, gave it a love tap. Wuddya know, it booted up fine. It does this every time, just like clock work. My best guess is that it is the power good wire to the cpu because the loose connection only needs to be wiggled once, and i believe that the power good only happens when the computer starts up (am i wrong??). BUT I tried wiggling the cpu and all the wires to it, and nothing happened. I tried wiggling everything else, and it seems that it is only the "love tap" that will get the computer to work. I'm stumped. Any help? PLease??
