Pretty much the tittle, my best friend moved recently and now his computer powers up and then back down without loading windows or anything else. I told his wife I would try to help them figure out the problem, and this is me doing that. ;p Because honestly I am unsure where to start.

After work tommorrow I will be heading over to there home to try to figure what is wrong. What are the most common causes of this type of issue and where do I start looking ?

Hmm.. Have you thought of this for instance?
New home may = new electrical issues. Try a totally different outlet in the house first. Start small.

I have not actually seen what it does when powered up but it was described to me as turns on and right back off with nothing being displayed at all. I will know more tomorrow but I was kinda wanting some direction for when I pull that bad boy apart tomorrow.

Pc is smaller than home you're correct.. But moving a pc to another room isn't hard at all. Let us know, I'll be back on here in the morning. Or PM me for my email address and I can assist then as well.
