I spent the day at my grandparents' house today, and when I tried to use their PC, every time I turned it on...this weird thing happened, it's hard to explain. It's like the PC was turning itself on and off over and over and over, and wouldn't stop unless you unplugged the CPU. The lights on the keyboard kept turning on and off too, signifying to me more that it was just turning itself on and off for some reason. It was really bizarre. Any idea on how to fix it? Thanks guys.

maybe the launch button is blocked.

When you hold down the launch button for 4-5 seconds, the PC turn off. This way, if the button is blocked:

- launch
- 4-5 seconds later it shuts down
- launch because the button is active
- 4-5 seconds later...

?
or a glitch on the mainboard...?
