Went to turn my computer on this morning pressed the power button my fans span for no longer than a second then stopped and no power i had to press power on again then all works fine.

Anyone else had this before ive got a superflower 650w could it be on its way out?

how old is the PSU?

make sure all cables are seated correctly, re seat the ram as this has been known to fix issues and do a clear cmos if it hasn't already been done.

do you have any overclock on the system at all?

can you list your PC specs please

Check that nothing is shorting, like loose screws under the mobo.

Also, try shorting the power on pins on the mobo head witha flat head screw driver to eliminate any problems with the case fp switch. I've had a few PC brought to me were this was simply the case.

Okay will try that if that doesnt work ill take my OC off and see if that could be the problem for some reason

Always a good idea if you run into problems.
