    had it in storage
    Was it in a tempature controlled enviroment or was it subjected to humidity etc?

    I'd suspect the power supply is failing.

    Have you checked all connections as im thinking the ride home may have knocked something out. Did you see it running when you took it in or did you take their word for it?

    Reseat your PSU connectors. Like Aaron said, check everything out.
