My initial thoughts when it first started was the PS shutting down so
substituted it with a known good one. Then removed all the various
peripherals except the graphics card. Still happened. Tried a different
graphics card too.


Aren't there any PC anoraks advertising in your local paper? Time to
admit defeat I'd say

If no one on here (or elsewhere) has suggestions would such a type do any
better?
I can obviously fix things by the shotgun approach of replacing MB and
CPU. Get a 'man' in and all I'm doing is paying extra for his labour to do
what I can myself.
