Here's an interesting one I've not come across before
We've just upgraded a 3yo pc with new RAM, new HDD. Fitted those no problem and all was working fine for a couple of weeks, then it just died on us.
When switched on via the push-button on the front of the case, the PSU and CPU fans fire for half a second or so, then stop.
There's a small LED next to the motherboard power socket which lights up when this happens.
While this LED is lit, repeated switching of the main switch has no effect, and this LED won't extinguish until the mains power is cut.
Once the mains power is cut and reset, the same thing happens on switching on - CPU and PSU fans turn for half a sec, then nothing.
We thought it might be a psu issue, so swapped out the psu for a new one, but with the same result.
Any ideas folks??
