Do you have a extra power supply lying around that you can use to test? can i get your computer specs?

Please list full systems specs.
Likely the first place to start will be to test your PSU to see if it is dead, or something further up the chain:

If it's not your psu then it sounds like its your motherboard. If it was your cpu or ram it would at least power up and you would hear some beeps which would tell you the problem.
It powers for about half a second and then dies on me, but the first time i tried to jump the psu it didnt power but after taking out the cables and plugging them back in to the power suplly it did power up when jumped with the paperclip, so the psu is fine then? Im going to test the cpu in my friends pc at some point and if it boots fine it will be he motherboard?

test the cpu, ram, and powersupply. If it works with all 3 or those then you know its your motherboard.

May I ask what the brand of the Psu is you have and it`s wattage.
Have you tried the set procedure, to clear any circuit protection of the Psu you have ?
Azbo.
There is a set process that you need to do if one of the protection circuits has triggered on the Psu such as a power surge, or over tempreture of the Psu unit ect.
If you do not follow it every time you try to power the PSU up it will shut down or cut one of the power rails the Psu provides the motherboard.
State the bran name of the Psu and the model number of it plus the total amount of watts it can output Azbo.
