[QUOTE="martyp, post: 863635, member: 61183"] What temperature is the room at when you try to fire the Mac up? I ask because my 30" ACD had a similar problem when the room was pretty cold from a window being open, after 30 mins it would stay on no problem. Have you tried resetting the PRAM (holding down cmd+opt+p+r as you switch it on until you hear a second chime)? Have you tried running the Apple diagnostic test found on the DVD that came with your Mac? Aside from that I could only guess it is a power supply / logic board issue. If it is a hardware issue something has gotten too hot and has come loose from the connection/solder joint and only when the temp rises is it regaining a connection and the Pro appears to be fine.
