I'm hoping someone might have some thoughts on what to do. My system wont boot. I hit the power button, and then the PSU, CPU, chipset, and case fans spin up, but a second after spinning up the fans stop and the boot ends.
What To do?

Check the RAM is properly inserted. Don't ask me why, just saw it on a video somewhere before lol
Checked ram, sits where they are supposed too
All this steps should help, its a big sum up

Of those I would start with removing all components that are not really needed for the computer to boot. Video card, hard disks and all the stuff. Just the power, then see if it stays on. It maybe be some parts causing an electrical short or your PSU being faulty.
Does everypin of the motherboard conector for PSU its right? Maybe one pin its wrong and its necesary to start it.
Also, one time I had this problem, and what I had did its desconecting PSU, and press the boot button few times. Maybe some condensator were to much charged and were making that it dosent boot. After this, I conected PSU and all back to normal work
Hmmm maybe its my motherboard
Try removing your graphics card. If it still doesn't boot, it's most likely a CPU failure or Mobo failure.
Is it posting? If not, remove your CMOS battery for 15 minutes and try again. Google helps
Remove ram and reinsert, then graphics card remove it
and work your way through,
maybe try a cmos reset
I had this issue before. Turned out a stick of RAM died
You can test your ram with a special program right? You put it on a USB and insert it to your PC and it checks your RAM.
It's called MemTest!
I used it before it told me my RAM was indeed broken.

Hard to test if the PC does not stay on.
The memtest got a USB version so you can do it from boot menu, then it stays on
Oh, so the PC turns only off if it goes to boot, in setup it stays on? Then its most likely not the power supply failing else it would happen anytime. Theres a component failing. Tried removing the GPU? And if you have multiple RAM modules, keep only 1 of them and alternate them ( 1 at the same time , first one, boot, if fails remove it and replace it by another module, boot , and so on ) to see if that is failing.
Did you do what I mention?
Yea, didnt work. So its going to the shop
