earlier today...i just turned on the power for the comp.....but it kept going on and then off on off on off etc...
then i figured it might be the loose power supply plug then i adjusted it but i had no luck...but i saw the light on the keyboard though...then i held the plug in place..the comp started but i didn't hear a BEEP sound....now the comp just goes on and off on and off........what could it be?!

If you can, try to get your hands on another PSU and try booting with that. Something similar happened to me this morning. Everytime I tried booting up my PC it would turn on then off a second later and wouldn't completely boot up. I then used the PSU in my old PC and the PC turned on. If its doing the same thing even after swapping your PSU, then you could have some kind of motherboard failure.
