I built this pc about a year and a half ago, few updaes etc, but everything been working fine untill recently, basicly, what happens is it sometimes wont turn on!, then if left it will just turn on about 10 mins later on its own! it also switches off on its own every now and then, but a complete cut out (as if you were holding the button in) case, power supply or something else?......the cause MIGHT have been due to my darling daughter learning where the power button is and keep pressing it every 5 secs (if anyone can reccomend a case that is hard for little ones to do this it will be appreciated!)

thanks for help!

sorry if I sound an idiot, I no longer have loads of bits and peices to play about and test other stuff (after girlfriend made me kick them out)

The best cases to get are those with lockable front panels :) helped me out loaded with a 4 year old running around the place!
