Before I left for Thanksgiving break on Thursday, I turned my computer off.

When I came back today, it would not power on. I opened my case and The light on the motherboard turns on when I plug in my power cable. When I checked to make sure all of the power cables were securely connected, the cable going to my power button seemed to be the problem. I tap it and my computer powered on as normal except for a buzzing noise louder than usual.

When I powered it on, my system time was a few days off.


Should I just replace that power cable or do I need to something else?

buzzing noise may go away as the PC warms up. if you left for a few days and turned the heat off it probably got cold and bearings buzz a bit when they get cold.

cold might explain the power cable too. could have been sticky. try turning it off and on a few times and see if the problem goes away.
