Boot TS - Power Problem Corrected After Changing Power Cable

Explanation: The power supply problem is fixed when the power cord is replaced.

Diagnosis: The power cord most likely was damaged; it's possible that it just was loose, so you can try swapping it again and seeing if the problem is fixed, but this usually won't work.

Recommendation: Keep the replacement cord on the PC and discard the old one. This should solve the problem for now; long-term you should examine the physical environment around the PC to make sure that the cord isn't likely to get damaged again.
