Also check and intermittent CPU Cooling fan. As the fans begins to
fail, it will many times go intermittent first, i.e. start rotating on
power on sometimes and sometimes not. Also could be a heat related
problem elsewhere, e.g. video card, power supply, etc. What is the room
temp? Is the power supply fan operating at full speed~all~the time.
Etc.
