Well first off this is a custom built computer, it has worked alittle over a year now no problems. Up until this morning my fiance told me it randomly cut itself off. Now when I tried to turn it on, it started up then 1-2 seconds later it turns off. Then after that it won't even respond when I push the power button. After messing around awhile I think it could be the power supply. How ever after pulling the plug out/back in it repeats what I said about cutting off 1-2 seconds later after turning it on. Now I have my doubts about it being the power supply. Any help is a greatly appreciated as always. Thanks.

PS. I'm using ps3 to type this up so it took me awhile.

Is this a laptop or a desktop?

Have you tried simply using another standard power cord for the desktop? Commonly, problems like such arise simply because of a bad connection.

yes i have tried that but to no avail.

edit:
I have taken the whole computer apart and put it all back together again. This time it turned on with out shutting off but with no post (CPU led/red light came on by CPU fan). I try to reboot it and it repeats the whole shut off withing 2 seconds. Now I can assume it is not the power supply but possibly my processor.
