PC Seems To Fail POST

PCHELPNEEDED · 11-21-2008, 12:44 AM

I attempted to put my ram into a different pc and that didn't work. Once I put my ram sticks back into my original pc the pc now......
1 - Powers on and the fan starts
2 - Powers off prior to the emachines logo screen and the fan stops running
3 - The LED power indicator is momentarily steady then flashes as a process and I'm unable to use the power button to power off the system so I unplug the cord in the back

I unpluged all my devices and still get the same results no matter what. Even when I take out all the ram sticks the same happens but I get the ram related beeping. It kinda seems to be a PSU issue but I'm sceptical about that since this happened directly after removing the ram. I'm currently hoping that by leaving my lithium battery out for a few days that will do the trick.

PLEASE HELP

Unplug the power press and hold the power button a few times then remove the battery half an hour should do it press the power button a few more times make sure the ram sticks are fully seated do not relay on the clips or tabs closing push a little more to make sure, reinsert the battery, replug and boot
