[corpsegrinder26]

Its my friends computer its a compaq presario 5000 I was putting in a second memory card and i cleaned the pc out and put it in. I had unplugged everything before hand and turned it off but when i put all the connections back together and tryed to turn it on it powerd up with all fans and everything for about half a second then went back off and havent came back on yet? what should i do and what could it be exactly?

Sounds like an electrical problem. Are you sure there is no electrical short anywhere? Like with metal accidentally touching the motherboard somewhere?

Moved to the proper forum.

But I agree something is up. Maybe take everything back out and reseat it again.
