Advent pc - wont start up

Hey.
Iv an advent t9509.
In the last week or two when i leave it on upstairs for a few hours, when i go back to it, its unresponsive, no display.
I hav to hold the power key r unplug it nd turn it back on and then it works grand again.

Now when i turn the computer on there is no output to the monitor and no start up beep.

Iv turned it on and off, unplugged everythin unnesesary, opened it up and blew out any dust and plugged the cables that i could get at in and out to b sure.
There doesnt seem to be any damage in it. Iv no idea how big a mark itd leave if something burnt out!

Any ideas what to do now?

Know any where i could get it fixed or looked at for dirt cheap?
Cheers
