7. I would guess power supply

Dec 2014

I have fixed several that were underpowered to begin with. Yours had enough power to run but not enough to restart. They even use the wrong power supplies on some. I saw one that used a 20 pin supply meant for older computers adapted to fit a motherboard that requires a 24 pin power supply. You probably need a good quality power supply with a higher wattage rating.

I doubt that you lost any info. Windows may be damaged but the rest will be fine.
