Computer turns on then off

Expand Post »

Hello,

My current home office computer is having an issue. It will power up and then power immediately back down. All fans come on (CPU, PSU, case) and the green motherboard light stays on, then all fans shut down. no beeps or boot.

If I disconnect power to the CPU (P8), all fans will stay on.

I am working on getting a new power supply to test it, but while I'm at the parts store, could it be something else?
