    Try turning the PC on from a cold start (off for at least 30 minutes prior to turning on).

    Put the back of the PC where the cooling fan is located up to your ear - do you hear the fan turning and/or feel any airflow coming out?

    If the fan isn't working it's likely the PC is shutting off due to overheating of the CPU. Many PCs/motherboards have a built-in fail safe mode that immediately shuts down if the core temp. exceeds a safe level, avoiding a meltdown of the processor. If this is the case, you will need to replace the internal fan(s).

    Hope this helps. :)
