Had a chat with the tech guy to check things, it looks like the SSD has gone AWOL. Seems it didn't like being off for a week. Dropped it off this morning, they say 3-5 working days to fix, so no crunching for a while. I've never bothered with BOINC on the laptop, didn't seem worth it as it's not on very much. So it looks like I'll be getting a clean Windows install. I've got all my important stuff backed up but it'll be a bit of a chore reinstalling the rest. It'll stop me getting bored, anyway.....

Probably the easiest way to fix it, just put another SSD and copy of Windows in. Good job you've got everything backed up, most people haven't. It may be a bit of a chore but at least you haven't lost anything.

Good news, probably just the cooling down when it was switched off contracting some contact just enough to upset things and with it not starting up again, it wouldn't get back to it's initial temperature.
