Everytime the computer is plugged into the power outlet the system starts working for a few seconds, fans spinning, and then it stops. It doesn't turn on again even after pressing the power button, I have to unplug it and wait for a few minutes to plug it again and then it starts automatically and stops. I've tried resetting the CMOS and also replaced the CMOS battery but it was of no use. I reconnected all the power cables and it still didn't work. I removed the hard drive and RAM and tried but it still wouldn't turn on. Then I removed the CPU and placed it again and applied the thermal paste and it still wouldn't work.
