    pc wont turn on

    sorry, i think i have my terminologies wrong by it wont boot, i mean i turn it on and the fan spins and led light comes on for 1/2 or 1/4 of a second and then it all just turns off. i cant get into the bios. i checked the cpu temps when i set it all up (at idle), and they were all low 30s.
