Update:
PC has been fine for 11 months since wiggling a few wires. Played up last weekend again so I unplugged the 4 pin connector from the PSU to the motherboard (this was the fault last time it happened) and when I plugged it back in again, everything was fine again - until last night.
Same symptoms as before. Delved a bit deeper and cleared the dust out of the PSU, then I noticed 2 swollen capacitors. Both 2200 uF, 6.3v.
2 Panasonic ones ordered last night from ebay for £1.78, dispatched this morning.
I know, I know, I ought to get a new PC and be done with it.
