Ok i had a thread with power supply maybe. I unhooked everything and it still would stay on for 5 second then turn back off. If i can the memory stick out and turn it on it will stay on but beep i know the beep means that there is no memory. But why would it stay on with no memory but turn right of if it has something connected to it. I also tryed each device and try to run with it. With just the cd drive it turns off, with the harddrive same thing.
