Computer will not start up. Power stops after 1 second after power button is pushed.Fan spins,led's light up, then it shuts off.

Had same problem however when I removed the CPU the fans would stay on. My problem was a short in the board when the CPU was locked. Try to unlock cpu and see if fans stay on. If so you have the same problem as I did. I returned the board now fans stay on however, I can not get the monitor working.

Had same problem but was able to track it down to a short in the board. Try unlocking the CPU and see if fans work if so you have the same problem. I returned to the board.

try swoping the power supply if you have a spare ,and if you cant do that test your power supply on another pc . its very common for a atx power supply to do that mostly after not booting up for a while . just try the above it should give you direction from there onwards

Sounds like a bad power supply. Although first I would check it over by unplugging Every Card, Hard Drive, even Memory, (mainly anything that is connected into the Motherboard), One at a time usually is best, as you may find a faulty card, or bus, run the Motherboard strictly off the Power Supply, If it then seems to run correctly, try pluggin just One thing back in at a time, (memory, then Hard Drive(s), then cards, Video-LAN-Modem-Sound/etc.

This should give you a good feel for what/or where about your system is failing.. Good luck, A good standard size Power Supply Unit nowadays is about 600W+, a lot of systems we get from the stores, or online will come with just 400W+,.

Again, Good Luck, and Happy Holidays!
Let me know how this works for you.
