Simple test for that:
Disconnect the disks. If the disks are draining the PSU then the mobo works, bios comes up complaining that the disks have vanished.

Thanks everyone for the input thus far. I've been distracted these last couple of days and might not get to look into this for a few more days yet. I certainly hope it's the PSU and not the mobo; much easier (and cheaper) to fix. I haven't had a good look at it but I'm sure it's just a cheapo model that came in the case. So far as I can tell, it's not a branded PC but a home build, which surprises me since I wouldn't have credited the coward that palmed it off on me as being computer savvy enough. I did already try unplugging a couple of drives but this didn't change anything. I'll try disconnecting all but the essentials next time.
