Hi, maybe you have a loose wire or something. Have you tried opening up the case?

It is most likely a power supply problem. Don't get fooled by the fact that you see some evidence of power. The power supply has to supply several different voltages, and just one missing voltage can cause the problem that you are seeing. However those symptoms can also be caused by a motherboard problem, or even something connected to the motherboard.
