    You know that sounds like a power supply problem Wumply.I've run across a few machines that have trouble starting and even restarting.A new power supply solved the problem for the majority and one defective motherboard for one that had trouble restarting.Depending on what kind of motherboard you have I would buy a new power supply first,otherwise it will cost a lot more if you bring it to a shop and have them try to figure out an intermittant problem like yours.If the power supply does not work you can take it back and say that it didn't fit your case.Let us know if you want to try this and someone here will walk you through it step by step.
