It may be caused by damaged MBR.
If you have your Windows CD, you can fix it.
Just get into the recovery console (if you use Windows XP, boot from CD, let the setup load and when it will say "press Enter to install, press R to repair", press R and you are there).
Then type in "MBRFIX" and "CHKDSK" (without the quotes).

I cannot get the computer to stay powered up for longer that 1-2 seconds; not enough for it to boot from DVD or anything.... Tried replacing the PSU with a Thermaltake 500w with 25amps on 12V+... Any ideas?
