TIA Are you able to get a scope onto the power output from the brick? Sounds like it could be noisy or at the wrong level (i.e. knackered). You don't need to spend sixty bucks for a Tosh unit though, any regulated switchmode 15V/2A unit will do. On the other hand, it could be nothing to do with the PSU - have you tried reseating the expansion RAM (under the keyboard left hand side)? Intermittent contact there gives exactly this symptom - leading to complete lockup. Try removing it completely (it'll run like a dog) and see if the problem goes away.
