It could be your cpu has given up the ghost. Pull out the cpu and see if the computer stays on. (of course the PC won't boot without the CPU, but this routine will indicate if this is where the problem lies) I have had a cpu give up on me on my old pentium 11, 450, the symptoms were the same as yours. I managed to swop the CPU with another from a machine a friend was disposing of and that fixed the problem.
:bashpc:
The motherboard is an Asus A7N8X-X NForce2 400 and the CPU is an AMD Athlon Barton XP 2500+/333
:bashpc:
I tried removing the CPU and booting up and it still dies so my guess (and hope) is that it is the power supply so I'll be ordering a new one tonight.
