Right, halfway through a programme on iplayer when all of a sudden my pc turns off. Try the power button to turn it back on, nothing. Remove the power wait for the board to run outta juice (LED off) then turn power back on and try the on button, all the fans start and lights on but only for half a second then back to stage one..... what do i doooo :'(

(same pc as in sig)
