Cookaholics Bulletin Board

I shut down my computer one night after just talking to friends on aim and printing things out for school, (its running completely fine nothing different than every other day). I come home from school and go to turn on my computer and it wont turn on. When i go to turn it on it turns on for just a second. The light flickers on and the fan starts to spin but only for a split second. I unplugged everything except the motherboard and tried to turn it on and the same thing still happens. Any ideas what could be wrong. (im thinking it may be the motherboard? or even the processor?) Im now on a different computer trying to get help for this problem. any help would be greatly apprieciated. HELP PLEAZZZZZ!!!!!

For what it is worth it is unlikely to be the processor, it sounds more like a motherboard or power supply problem. It could also be a fried op system, which is going into immediate shut down on power up.
