Hiw does the power switch on a computer work
The power switch on a computer is a simple mechanical switch that is typically located on the front panel of the computer case. When you press the power switch, it sends a signal to the computer's power supply unit (PSU) to turn on and supply power to the internal components of the computer.
The power supply unit then distributes power to the motherboard, CPU, memory, graphics card, and other components, allowing the computer to boot up and begin running.
When you press and hold the power switch for a few seconds, it sends another signal to the power supply to turn off and cut power to the internal components, shutting down the computer. This helps prevent data loss and damage to the hardware components.
