Hi all,
I was booting up my pc when it froze at the windows login screen.
Not being able to shut it down, I held the power button and powered it off.
however, while trying to start the system up again, the fans, drives, and lights operates for a few seconds then powers off on it's own.

This process repeats itself until I hold the power button down, killing it.
I had experienced this a couple of months back whereby I cleaned the inside with a can of compressed air assuming it was getting dirty which worked. this time, however all my efforts seems to be in vain.

I'm not too familiar with the inside of the computer as I had it assembled by the store.
couple things I tried are cleaning it, ensure no wires are loose.
Hope to get some advice on what are the possible causes of this issue as I'm totally clueless about such matter.

Here's a video which shows my current situation.

Without knowing any details of your system, if it's still under warranty I'd say call your manufacturer. Otherwise try Geek Squad or a computer shop, as there could be any number of things causing that.
