I made my pc back in 2019 ish
I live in an apartment building and got into the habit of completely shutting it off and turning off the power supply at night in case power went out.

A few days ago when I got up to turn it on it made a static sound- so I shut it off and turned it back on. No problem.
Today I try and turn it on, static sound, turn off, turn on, static sound.
Now it doesn’t not do it, and when it doesn’t it doesn’t stay on for very long. I don’t know what to do, do I need a new power supply? Do I turn it off and on some more? I’m worried turning it off and on more might hurt it.

I got it to turn on without the buzz and it has stayed on. But since is not the first time this happens, what can I do to test if it is the power supply?
Or what do In general :x

Try reseating your RAM. Could potentially help

I’ll try it out, but could you explain a little?
Would this be in case it was the ram making the sound or could it be affecting the power?

It might behave like that because there is something wrong with ram connection

Also , try using a pencil eraser on the contacts
