Posting back here as I have another problem with the same PC, the day after doing the move/reseat memory I switched on the PC and left the room for 10 min, when I returned the PC was totally dead, no sound no life at all. I have just about given up on this PC and was going to give it to someone who might use it for spares, but would appreciate thoughts on what might be the problem here.

I would say the PSU as gone or on its way out, if it was dead when you came back, its probably gone, and may have taken other hardware with it

gengiscant I tried to start it and there was nothing, no light no sound, no fans.

If this is the case then will it pointless passing it on to someone who may use parts? It was expensive about 12 hundred pounds but that was 5/6 years ago

I would be inclined to fit a new PSU.

Does the motherboard light (inside) come on, if not, have you checked the fuse in the 3 pin plug into the mains wall socket?
