I have a similiar problem with my desktop PC: After running for a
while and then being shut down, it wont turn on again. Waiting a few
minutes (quite a few in fact, maybe an hour) and the problem is
solved again.

Both of you could try unplugging it for ten seconds. I have seen a
couple of units that behave that way. It seems to be the
motherboard/BIOS as replacing the PSU on one of units I have that
behaves that way didn't change anything.

Also try replacing the BIOS battery back up. I seem to remember reading on this list about similar problems being solved that way. I think Andrew S-W may have been involved in the thread, maybe even the OP, but I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong :)
