Welcome to life Lucky  ;D  Even my bike I can only make a good guess as to what caused the problem.  If you work around computers long enough, you'll discover the "must pet the computer" problem.  It goes like this:  a problem crops up, you open the case and the problem goes away. You close the case, and it stays away.   ???
