Hello there.
My windows XP desktop has been playing up lately. It decided to shut down for no reason last night, then it wouldn't turn back on.
At first I felt it was the fuse in the plug. So I switched the fuse (A 5 amp for a 13 amp) and it worked fine again. Today it decided to switch itself off once again, so I figured it might be the power supply that is dusty or something. I had not cleaned the insides for a couple of months, so I decided to clean it with a brush, and put it back again.
It had been on fine over night with no issues, until I decided to work on it after coming home. Now I have gone into my BIOs and noticed something disturbing.

My desktop was custom built about nine years ago. It is using Award BIOs.
Could I have unconnected something by accident when cleaning it? Or has something died?
