Faulty PSU I reckon.
Saturday it was turning itself off of its own accord and periodically the monitor fails, too. I wouldn't mind but I've only had the bloody thing a month and I'm damned if I'm going back to my laptop...

Knowing as I do that all technology belonging to me is spasticated in some way,
this would not surprise me.

I had considered that, although I'm assuring the fans can ventilate as well as possible
given the PC's position (had laptops that overheat before and it's a pain in the arse).

restart your pc,
go into the bios (press DEL when you're asked)
fiddle around in there until you find system/hardware information, it should tell you cpu temperature,
if it's over about 40 degrees C while in the bios then that's the problem.

Cheers mate :)
Will do; I think this morning it was because I left the SD card in there that it wasn't booting, but as long as I don't have to send it back I'll do anything to fix it...

See I can be helpful and nice,
I don't know why I get such a bad rep.

And I even didn't call you a girl!
I'm lovely, me.
