So this is what happens.

I start the thing up, I hear the fan spinning and well just general start up noice inside.
Except the power on button isnt lighting up and I dont hear that beep you usually hear when it starts.

After that nothing happens, the monitor doesnt pick anything up and my only choice is to turn th computer off.

Any help is appreciated.

Hmm, i think that it is a hardware problem, maybe your motherboard (or mainboard, whatever it is called) is broken, that's all i can think of....

lol your all wrong, i just had this last week, your PSU is dead. mine would start up and shut off in 2 seconds quickly or not at all.

solution: get a new PSU, or have a professional check it out first to be sure.

GL wit tat :D.

Get a professional if you have the money.

Check your wires if any of them are unplugged. Also, try unscrewing the computer and see if anything doesn't seem like it's supposed to be or weird.

I had the same Problem exactly word for word. I heard it trying to start but no lights or anything came on. I got a new power supply and it was fixed.
