Sick of politics here? Fix my computers!

724, the desktop is not a Dell. I'll definitely look into taking the keyboard off. The fact that if I wiggle my power cable it freezes the computer makes me think it's a PS issue. I'll definitely look at my mobo to see if I have a blown cap. If you say it's easy to spot I should be able to see it quickly.

I have seen simple connector issues. Take the keyboard off and see if the connector to the PS is busted. It is a simple soldering fix if thats the case. The behavior of your laptop is consistent with such an issue although it is consistent with several other issues as well. Dropping laptops usually leads to bad things unfortunately.
