Sounds like it...

Take the case off and make sure other bits (like Fans, are working ok.....

See if they "blip" when it reboots....

Yes, if you go into your BIOS when you start-up, you should be able to find "health" optinos, which will probably show you the RPMs of all the fans in your system. A new Power supply will set you back between £30 and £60.

That'll only happen when the RPC service is in use.
