Jangar, what make and CPU speed is your computer?
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.
