I've had my computer for a year or two, and it's been working fine. Today I cleaned it (compressed air) but later when I tried running it, it doesn't boot up properly. As soon as I plug in the power supply all my fans start spinning, the cmos button on the back of my computer and the power/reset button on my motherboard all light up. After a few seconds the fans turn off but all the buttons stay lit up. The power switch on the front of my computer doesn't work either, so the only way to turn it on or off is to flip the psu switch. As for the Dr. Debug codes it started with 4F and A9 and now I'm getting 20 and 55. There's no beeps, it looks like a normal boot up but then just shuts off.

I got it working yesterday but when I went to put in ram today it said memory not installed and no usable memory detected. For a couple minutes it stayed on but my monitor/mouse/keyboard/etc didn't work, and then eventually it started turning off as soon as I turn it on. Also nothing lights up on the motherboard now.

Yeah

It was giving me the error code "pei core is started" when it was shutting off instantly; now when I added a 2nd stick of ram it stays on but displays no power to monitor/mouse/keyboard again. Not sure if it matters but when I plug my keyboard in, the 3 lights (caps lock, num lock, scroll lock) turn on for like 3 seconds and then turn off
