Computer turns on and off. Boots when it wants to.

This has been happening for a while. Everytime I've plugged my computer out/power cut. The computer has gone on and off till it decided to boot up. This normally wasn't a problem as when the computer ISN'T unplugged it turns on just fine. Anyway. The strange part of the story IS that the on and off process has slowly gone from taking 5 minutes to boot up to 4 hours to boot up to well, currently I'm waiting for it boot right now since the power was cut last night.

-tried the 30 seconds (all things powered out rule)
-when i opened it up the fans have spun and the LEDs have turned on when i pressed the power button
-No, I can't even reach the BIOS menu


If you could help me I'd be really grateful. Or if you could at least tell me why my computer has gone from taking 5 minutes to boot to hours I'd be really greatful.

(Sorry about the spelling errors, I'm a bit flustered, this is the 3rd time typing up this post seeing how firefox decided to crash mid-typing-post twice).

Thanks in advance
