I have a compaq presario sr1803wm with win xp home.

The power source fried so i ordered a newer one and when i put it in the computer just turns on for half a second then turns off....all fans run and lights come on for that second......but every 1 out of 100 tries the computer will actually turn on and it will stay on and run perfectly....whats causing this?
