I have a recovered desktop at home that was my daughters. Sometimes it powers
up and shuts off, and sometimes it will die before it gets out of the post
screens. I suspect the CPU fan, but since I don't need the system right now (I
just gave her a better one so she is happy), it sits until I have time.

There are many ways a system can break, and some of them can be very difficult
to figure out without a bunch of spare parts you can swap.
