      Supose could any number of things with what you describe?

      You say alarm - was this a beeping sound coming from the computer? If so, how many beeps?

          Most common reason, overheating.

          Solution of fix? tricky one. First the fan over the CPU needs to be checked to see if its spinning, if not, can be replaced. If it is, well could be a knackered CPU in my experience.

          Happened to me before.

              Could be just the power pack. Is there a funny smell coming from the vent at the back of the machine?

                  Last one from me - don't know too much about the internals.

                  Daft and as condescending as it might seem - have you checked he fuse in the plug?

                    If it was the fuse in the plug, it wouldn't turn on, beep and turn off. It just wouldn't turn on.

                    If its not the fan, then its the cpu or the motherboard. Id Suggest taking it to a repair shop, because its not easy to swap out either of them. Theres a slim chance its the PCU (power pack) but I don't think so, usually when they burn out, they just don't work, it wouldn't cause the computer to boot up, beep and turn off.

                    That is usually an overheating issue, and as the fan is spinning, it can only be the cpu or motherboard mailfunction.

                      I have had it happen with the powerpack where it was running erratically and then just wouldn't boot up - one of the pots in the powrpack had gone pop

                      I just mentioned the fuse in case there had been any type of power surge.

                          Go to a repair shop first before shelling out money on a new one, it could work out cheaper, if it turns out to be anything major then you can always think about a new one then. I doubt it costs a lot for them to run some diagnostics.

                            yeah, agreed, get it to a small, repair shop (not the big ones which will fleece you!). A good one will give you the best advice and if its worth repairing or not.
                            Good luck!

I am now saving the money each month that was making little difference to the balance and not a bit of difference to my credit file as a result of finding AAD.
