I cleaned up the inside of my other computer and hooked it all bakc up and now it will only turn on for a half-secound.
I had this problem with this computer when i first built it. my frirend brought his PS over and we hooked it up and it work and then we tryed my again and it worked. I thing the mobo powercord is touchy or could it be my MoBo. I tryed moveing the cord around unpluged it and repluged it but it just wont work. all the stuff will turn on the right back off. not even enought time to load any thing up. Some one help

OK update time...the Little light turns on saying the mobo has power....but when i press the powerbutton nothin comes on now...but i did take the soubnd card out...and after that it will the fans wont even move for a sec like before. Dude wtf is going on

Try looking at your Ram...Reseat it and make sure it's all the way in. How much "cleaning" did you do? Did you reseat your processor? Try reseating everything again. Check all cables.
