There's a difference here: this is an actual shut-down, not a freeze.

Well, I tried John's suggestion and shut down more or less everything: I
didn't know whether the picture could be put up here, so it's at
http://www.johnwoodhouse.co.uk/Tasks.jpg
You can see that more or less nothing in software terms was running and yet
it still shut down. This seems to me, unless I have missed something, that
it rules that out?
It seems to keep coming back to the PSU: why, if power is on, does pushing
the power button on the front not work? In fact, this morning I had to
cycle the rear switch twice before it would come alive. Doesn't that
suggest something to do with the PSU?
Is Chris Evans reading and have a clue?
