This PC has a design fault, with inadequate cooling.
I managed to squeeze in 2 fans side by side, where there is normally only one fitted in the case. It requires cutting away some metal so not a simple fix but it now keeps the case internal temperature down well within a safe working temp.
Unfortunately I didn't implement this fix soon enough, and ran it too hot for too long causing a motherboard fault that sometimes trips out the power supply when you try to boot up. Ho hum.
Does it beep at all?
If so, read up on beep codes:
Different PC manufacturers have different BIOS Boot codes.
