OK, my PC has suddenly decided not to work today.
I'd been away over Christmas and got back yesterday. I turned my PC on and it worked fine.
I have been having a few issues while shutting down recently though, occasionally it will turn itself back on up to a few hours after shutting down.
This is what I thought had happened this morning. I set it to hibernate last night, come this morning the power light was on, fans were on but nothing from anything else, USB devices were showing no signs of life.
So, at this point I did a hard reboot.
It powers up again, all the fans go, hard drives spin up but nothing else happens. There are no beeps, it just sits there with the monitor in powersave mode.
At first I thought it might be a power supply issue, but I've swapped that out and it made no difference.
I suspect it's a motherboard issue, it's a couple of years old now.
Motherboard is a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (Socket 939)
Any suggestions as to what else I can try to diagnose the problem before biting the bullet and buying a replacement would be welcome.
EDIT:
I should point out that it did boot up fully once this morning, then just reset itself after about 10 minutes.
Now whenever I try it I just get nothing.
