We had a power cut last night and the PC I use as a file/print server will not start up this morning - on starting a normal boot it will run through the self tests as usual, go through grub, and switch off part way through the boot process - no warning or error message, and the switch off seems to occur at differing stages of booting.
Cooling fans on the CPU and PSU seem to be running ok, I've removed any usb devices (bluetooth adaptor and printer) but the problem remains. I'm suspecting HDD or PSU failure (PC has two IDE HDDs and a SATA DVDR), but before I start taking it apart and replacing parts could one of the hardware experts on here confirm that or point me in the right direction please?
Fortunately everything important on the PC is backed up.
