That was going to be my first suggestion after getting your system specs. It's one of the most common 'techniques' used to get a problem PC working again. Shut it down, even unplug it for a few moments, plug it back in and watch it start.

Glad to know you're up and running again.

a monthly cleaning and reseating of components is important for optimum performance man.
