Broken Power Switch

[Nazca]

Title Edit: Dodgy Mobo

I've been looking on the internet and found an answer for the switch. Issue sorted however. When I press the power button the fans start turning for about half a second and then turn off. Nothing happens then.

Don't know what to do.

Could be a motherboard short? Check that all the stand offs are in the correct positions and not causing a short with the case?

 

[A.N.Other]

As above, it may be that the motherboard is shorting on something and turning off as a safety measure (but if you haven't really moved anything, this is unlikely). Another possibility is that the PSU has died - as soon as any load i drawn from it, it fails. I've had a PC do exactly what you're saying and that was the problem.
