I'll be having a look at this Linux stuff on my personal PC when I get it back. I'm keen to get Linux up in my box...

Download VMWare Player and give Linux Mint a try. It's very easy to use and you don't need any experience with Linux to be able to use it.

It's got a new CMOS battery I'm not completely retreaded

Will do, just have to get my box back.

I was tempted to tow it down the road on the 600, but then I remembered it's speed cutting at 180, so wouldn't be fast enough

Likely power supply or something is cooking.

Go into BIOS, find CPU temp. See if it will keep running BIOS screen for a couple of hours. Tell us all the CPU temp...should be quite low if it's sat doing fark all. Check CPU cooler is attached properly.

Some brands have clever built in diagnostic fings.... what type / model is it?

If it's AMD, throw it in the bin

I've got CPUID and Speedfan on it, but I stopped giving a fuck this afternoon once I got some work done on my bike, using the PC in our office now.
I don't expect it's a heat issue as it can be sitting there not running for hours and randomly start itself up. I expect there's a short somewhere. It's an old Pentium 4 or something

The P4 was never the most power efficient or coolest CPU, so dust affects it more...

I'll fire the air compressor up and blow it out and check for shorts with the trusty multimeter if it happens again
