So over the past few months, I've had random times where when trying to boot, the computer would give a series of beeps and I would have to power down and reboot. A month ago, I could barely get into Windows at all! The computer would turn on and I could hear the fans going, but nothing would come up on my screen. This did not happen all the time. However, when I was able to get into Windows, at any given time, the computer would just randomly turn off and attempt to reboot. I took it for 2 separate diagnostic checks. One told me it was the power supply. After wasting money on a brand new power supply, I still had the same problem. The 2nd guy told me it was my motherboard. Now before I look to buy a replacement, is there anything else it could possibly be besides my MoBo. My thinking is the fact that at times, I was able to boot into windows makes me think my Mobo is fine. My computer is very old and I'm not looking to put a whole lot of money into it. Any help would be appreciated.
