Hi Greg, A mate of mine had a similar problem where his (relatively new) PC would randomly turn off and then not turn on again.. we tried swapping out a number of bits (e.g. the power supply) and couldn’t figure it out. He took it back to the shop (a custom PC build place over here) and they couldn’t reproduce it. Eventually we figured out there was nothing wrong with the PC, it was his power cable.
Probably it is unlikely that you have the same problem but I thought I’d mention it because in our case it was something so obvious that we all overlooked.

It happened twice earlier in the year, which I wrote off as flukes. Now it's happening a few times a day. Pressing power on does nothing. If I pull all the plugs out of the back and wait 5 to 15 minutes and put everything back in, then it powers up again. Any ideas? Power supply? -- GK
