No CMOS?

If not I'd look for bad caps like gunnar posted. Usually the signs are your PC freezes/locks up intermittently. The lockups get more frequent until one day it just won't turn on any more.

Here is a link to show you what to look for.

Basically, look at the larger capacitors for any swelling on top. They should be perfectly flat. If there is any swelling on top it's bad or going bad.
