if you left the computer plugged into the power socket while you were away there may have been a power surge
try another psu in it

the whole pc was disconected cause if i was to leave my 5.1 plugged in it wud overheat... the psu aint the problem.. just tried a diffrent ( pentium 2) mobo n procesor wit like 64mb of ram and that worked fine... well i say fine... it was ultimatly slooooooooooooooooooooooow
