hmm. Turned PC on, beeped then stopped.

displaying CPU details on screen, but nothing - keyboard not responsive, CPU fan and internal fans and disks whirring, but nothing else.

turned off, turned back on.

same. single beep on POST, suggests all ok.

took cover off, tried reseating cards/memory

same

tried unplugging/replugging HDs

same

unplugged all USB leads from back

bingo - it's up and running again.

weird.

another note- the heatsink atop the onboard graphics is fairly warm/hot to the touch, but the PC has been off all night...

I don't use the onboard graphics, as I've got a separate graphics card.

*nervous*

Was it trying to boot from a USB device? I get that when I leave my iPod plugged in and try to reboot...
