PC fixed

A while ago I had some trouble with my PC at home. It wouldn't turn on properly, so I replaced the power supply. That worked up to a point, but then it wouldn't stay on for more than about an hour. I was frustrated, and ready to replace all the inner bits - motherboard, CPU, RAM etc. Over the weekend, however, I made a discovery. When I had unplugged all the power leads to replace the power supply, I had unplugged the CPU fan too. Then I had neglected to plug it back in. So now I have a working PC again, and all it took was one fan cable plugged in.

PS - It's a much cheaper solution than I was prepared for.
PPS - I would have rather made this discovery straight away, though.
