Most probably a hardware issue.
Is something appears on the screen? How many beeps do you hear after turning on?

[Whitesnake]

it doesnt geive any beep and nothing appears on the screen it just automatic turns his self off.

 

[Lorand]

It could be a defective PSU, a short-circuit on the motherboard, or some defective component. Try to remove the RAM, soundcard, hdd, floppy and cd and see what happens at power on.

 

[Whitesnake]

[Lorand]

[Whitesnake]
