I brought this desktop computer about 2 months ago. I went to start it today and it just turned straight back off again.Only would run for about 3 sec and just kept trying to start until i turned it of at the back. I was wondering if the ram could be faulty when i took it out it atleast started just was beeping.Or maybe the power supply.Heres the one i brought. Intel Dual Core I3 3220 3 30 GHZ 4GB RAM 1TB HDD Desktop Home Office Computer PC | eBay

I was hoping i could fix it myself save sending it back cheers

You need to send it back before you void the warranty. At the very least, you need to contact the vendor and get on record you are having this problem.

My first suspect is the PSU. You could try one stick of RAM at a time. And you need to ensure the CPU fan is properly connected - but really, you risk voiding your warranty if you mess with it too much.
