My friend just dropped his computer at my house telling me that his computer is turning on and off by itself. I first thought it was the good old infamous virus (shutting o/s off in a min or so) but it seems like its a hardware problem.

The computer turns on and off by itself every 1~2 seconds even before any boot sequence come up on the screen. My first guess was PSU but I was wrong. (put a new one there but the problem resists) My second guess is the switch and/or mobo but I don't know where to begin with that. or would it be something else?

I need help to figure this out. :confused:

best guess is that the mobo is screwed up, or maybe the power button is stuck. (happened to me once, and the stupid thing was on off on off every two or three seconds)
