It just doesn't want to switch on at times, pressing the on button a few times even before it finally goes on. Also it will just go off whilst on for no apparent reason

I'm not very clear with your problem but I'll assume you have problem with your power button which won't respond for few clicks and will auto shutdown by itself randomly...

Here are the list for possible problems that may have on your computer

- Power button connection to motherboard jumper cable have problem
- Power supply does not supply enough power ((most probably))
- Motherboard refuse to work for first few times
- Hardware Conflict

Well, if you have another power supply unit (PSU) at your home or you have another working computer, use that to try on your faulty computer...
