It sounds like you've developed a thermal fault in the motherboard. Time
for a new motherboard, I'm afraid.

Hi Guys,
got a problem. can't get my computer to start. What has happened, few
time when I have left my computer running and I have returned to it later,
I couldn't wake it up. I either had to soft reboot it or switch it off.
It happened again tonight, but it would not reboot, and it would not
switch off holding in the off/on switch. I had to switch the power off.,
but then it would not switch on again. I put a meter on the switch and
that was working, so I changed the PSU(a new one I had), but it still
would not power up, could the mobo be dead, it is an Epox 9NDA3J. Any help
or advice really appreciated. Just one thing I missed, some times when I
pressed the on/off button to power up, the power light flashed then
nothing happened, I had to switch the power off and wait 10 seconds then
switch it on again, to power it up
Regards
Bob
