    It's not heat as teh computer was off all night and did it as soon as I switched it on. It also had a good clean out as I had to replace the motherboard a few months back.

      If it takes several tries to boot?

      POWER ISSUES/BAD BEARINGS

      isolate by disconnecting various components(non essential ones)


      that's why I always keep a few extra power supplies around

        power issues?
        i agree.
        i was technician for 32 years and loose my atlon200xp+.
        the power supply don't damage the cpu,was me because when i start the pc,came one advice(sound): "
        the cpu must be damged.or not installed properly..etc,change the cpu."
        then i only remove the cpu and put it there again and work.
        days later ,came the advice again and i did the same.
        removing and back the cpu thousands times,in the end i break the cpu and got a new one.
        some days later,the advice about cpu damaged back(oh no!!!)
        to check what was really happen,i remove the power plug and don't found anything wrong.
        i plugged the power energy again and the pc start as normal.
        conclusion: my power supply had components damaged(capacitors eletrolitcs-don't know the right name in english)
        was only chamge this filters inside the power supply and the problem gone forever.

        in the end my friend nwg,check your power supply!

          The thread has come a bit off topic now

          The power supply isn't that old. The original one went as the fuse inside blew. It was replaced about three months ago.

            true my friend but the central point now is solve your problem.

            The power supply isn't that old. The original one went as the fuse inside blew. It was replaced about three months ago.
            ok.if my poor english help you will understand what i mean.
            the power supply of your laptop after work for long time encrease the temperature too much.
            this componets that i was talking called eletrolictics capacitors(or something like that) have oil inside.
            with high temper this oil evaporate(just a little) and the capacity of this filters decrease and the voltages(+5v,+12v,etc) get noises.
            this noises can create issues in the whole work inside the pc.
            when the pc is left working for long time,this capacitors are hot and the issues decrease but when you start the pc again and everything is cold,the problem can appear again.
            trust me,call one good technician to change this filters,and the price of this components are tiny,just a few U$.
            this have good change to be a solution of your problems.

              anything can be drawing down the voltage rails, and that's what may have eaten the old supply, it's your thread sorry if I hijacked it
