    Computer shut off and only turns on for a second then shuts off again.

    My computer shut down randomly last night and when I press the power button, everything starts up for a second or two and shuts off again. It was working fine all day yesterday, but then it shut down for no apparent reason. I have had some previous trouble with the motherboard and had to have...
