This is my wife's computer and is has been working flawlessly, until a few
minutes ago.

Turned it on and all that happened is that the fan ran for a few seconds and
then stopped. Nothing! Zilch! Nada!

Any expert out there able to suggest the likely cause, please?

Charge the battery? :-)

Sorry but it's hard to diagnose with such little information. If it's a
desktop I'd plump for the PSU.
