Last view: 4988 days 		My desktop isn't booting up correctly. I'll turn it on and it'll begin to boot up for around 3 seconds before shutting off. Then it turns itself back on and repeats unless I manually shut it off. It's done this before and I'm not sure how I fixed it, although I think it had something to do with unplugging a hard drive, but this time I've unplugged all drives and it keeps doing it. Help...?
