+1 as well for capacitors ... I was "gifted" a NetVista ages ago and
discovered leaking capacitors ... plus it wasn't acting quite right. It was
properly stripped down and recycled quite some time ago.

Same goes for the older Dell Optiplex GX260/270/280 series desktops. ;-)

Check the board for bulging/leaking caps first.
Then I'd recommend testing the power supply if you have access to a PSU
tester (or multimeter if you know what you're doing and are careful).
