Looks like I'm back with more probably power related issues.
I have been away for a month so I'm not sure if anybody else or my cats have been knocking things about near my computer, but since I got a new PSU nudges to the tower while the computer is off have meant I've had to resecure the connections quite frequently.
Anyway, I had this problem just now and did the usual checks, but I replaced the side and turned the computer back on, it seemed to work - hardware checks all seemed to be in order, but then it got to the "Windows was not started correctly" screen and the screen displayed "No Signal" and my external hard drives powered down. This is usually what happens when one of the connections is loose, except it was happening later. I resecured the connections again and the same happened, except this time the screen went blank as Windows was starting up.
I did the same again and it seems to have worked, but it seems that now the wires are looser than ever (I would clip them in fully but the case layout is a horrible mess and much pressure on the motherboard doesn't seem like a good idea)
Basically what I'm asking is which connection should I be focusing on getting completely secured so this sort of worrying thing doesn't happen again? (IE is it one of the large connections to the motherboard from the PSU, or a smaller one between other hardware?)
