It would seem like the wiring in my recently bought 'gaming' PC from
eBay is shot... if you move the internal wires, around with the PC on (I
mean, just poke the bundle of wires) all sorts can go wrong, if you move
the fan wires, the fans come off and on and the graphic's card's power
does the same.... What is going on?? What can I do to sort this
problematic wiring problem?

I do not believe it to be the PSU... as if you poke the wires near to
the PSU end of things, nothing happens at all...

Hi,

A word of warning: You should never be moving wires around when the pc is
powered on. A short or stray bit of voltage can fry a component in an
instant, possibly rendering the motherboard, hard drive, or processor
useless.

Just becase the PSU end connections are good does not mean the cabling is
ok. At a guess you have one or more connectors gone bad. If your PSU is
hard-wired, then you will need to replace the entire unit. If the cabling is
removable, then you need to replace the individual cables.

Contact the person or company you bought the computer from and have them
make it right.

To sum upa: You buy a computer off Ebay and then poke the innards with your
fingers while it is powered up.

Another reason why eBay should not be considered for a PC purchase.
Just what type of warranty was offered?

Also, since the video card power cables comes loose, I would suspect
either the PC was poorly assembled, video card power "connections" are
broken or PSU is extremely "cheap" in quality. Normal video card
power connections have a "locking" clip so as to attempt to reduce the
cable(s) from disconnecting.
