    Is the Power Supply cable inserted correctly?

    i think its in the power supply, or something burnt out. if it still can open, then the power supply cant supply enough power so it turns off after it just open. it happened to our old desktop, and we just bought a new one because that was a very ancient comp anyway.

    perhaps loony can help but you need to insert more infos about your comp, like fans spinning, does it produce a bad smell or it starts to smoke, or was it infected by a virus, or what where you doing before it all happened, and how long were you using the comp.

    It turning off by itself right away means it's most likely a hardware problem. Did you hear any beeps from your computer before it shut down? If you didn't hear a beep code, try connecting another power supply to test. In any other case, there would be a beep code.
