One of my old PC's has been sitting in the closet for about 6 six months. I tried to use it today and it wouldn't turn on.

When pressing the power button it powers up for a second and then shuts off. If I press the power button again it does nothing. Then if I turn off the power supply switch in the back and then turn it back then press the front power button again it will power up for a second then shut off.

When the power supply is plugged in I can get 8.6V from pin 9 (purple wire) and 8.2V from pin 14 (green wire). It is a 20pin atx connector.

Need a new power supply or might something else be wrong?
