You should always turn the modern PC on/off using the
software shutdown and the front panel power button. The
power supply is designed to keep parts of the motherboard
alive even when the PC is OFF. When you leave the PC ON and
shut down with a main power cut, you shock the system. When
you turn it on with a main power you also shock the system.
You may have damaged the power supply with all the power
surges.
Suggest that you check the power supply voltages on all
outputs, get a proper UPS and use the computer to turn it
off and the front panel power switch to turn it ON. BTW, IF
you treat the eMac the same way, you'll likely damaged it
too. And you need a UPS on all computers.
BTW,
You should have simply talked about the PC issue, we didn't
need to know whether you have a Mac or are switching. Also,
you sentence structure does not properly convey what you
meant... you should have said it this way.
I recently purchased an eMac for myself and am going to give
my old PC to my sister. But the PC has a problem that I
need to resolve before I give it to her. The problem is....
