Pc wont boot

Hi, i have a problem with my Pc and wondered if you could help.

My pc was running fine, then all of a sudden everything just "hung" so i pressed restart, now it wont boot at all. It powers up for about 2-3 seconds then turns off. Could this be my PSU or Motherboard?

Thanks in advance

Start with the basics.

• ClearCMOS
• Try a single stick of RAM in all slots, repeat for the other stick
• Disconnect the drives (you dont need them to get into the BIOS)
• If the motherboard has a onboard GFX solution, remove the GFX card if you use one.
