So, just what I wanted after moving house.

Plugged the PC in, it turns on, the hard drives all start to spin up, and then it turns off, waits 5 seconds, and does exactly the same again.

Stupidly. I left the PC to be packed and moved by the removals company.

Has anyone ever had this happen before? I've tried a different power lead and different plug socket, but don't have spare ram/psu's/anything like that anymore... anything else I can try before I start to cry?
 
ok...

One of the top mounting screws had come loose, refitted and it now boots to windows and seems ... ok

Maybe its time I brought forward the purchase of the replacement...
