sounds like a power problem.
Either psu is gone bad (get a new one)
Well, I got three old ones instead :)
or your mainboard's power circuitry gone bad (if replacement of psu does not
help, get a new one).
It did not help :( Too bad, I probably need a new mainboard. And I
cannot get one before monday evening, I have to go to a wedding tomorrow
(not mine) and I doubt I will have time to find a hardware store there.
But first thing first: disconnect your hdds! No reason to risk them.
I did that soon. I already had trouble with one two weeks ago, it had
bad blocks on the home partition. The replacement drive also had bad
blocks, I had to get yet another one. It's a good thing to have recent
backups :)
And there, it just crashed while in the BIOS setup.
