That was the first thing I tried. I left it for a couple of minutes and
nothing 
happened so I will leave it all day and try again.

As luck would have it I replaced a full tower case on another system with a
midi
tower last week and therefore have a spare PSU to try. I will keep fingers and
everything else crossed that it's the PSU. Sods law is that it's been sitting
on
my desk for 2 weeks and I decided to store it in the loft this weekend so I'll
have to go up there and get it back down tonight.
