Oh Dear... The case has changed!! The switch off delay has today changed to just 3 seconds after switch on! And, I have obtained a PSU which is now in the machine but THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME :-( So, it appears that the mobo is sending a 'shut down' signal to the PSU almost immediately (3s) after switch on, I suspect that some (small?) component on the mobo has failed but it is nigh on impossible to identify which component. I have used a large magnifier to inspect every component on the mobo but to no avail, nothing looks untoward! So it is looking like a new mobo or new machine here.

In a word.
****.

I would guess that of all the compunents to go short an elecrolytic is
the culprit.

see if there is a bulgy one around

But a mobo isnt as expensive as the RAM and CPU that goes in it.

But befier that remove all peripehrals 0 disks etc - ram chips and pci
cards etc and see if the psu dies then
