Reasons Why Your Computer Won't Power On

Reasons Why Your Computer Won't Power On
I will show you troubleshooting - Why Won't My Computer Turn On? in 60 seconds. Its super easy and this should help you understand why your pc is dead.
What to Do When Your Computer Won't Turn On
1. Power supply is dead or Incorrect power supply or Power cord is bad or not connected properly or PSU switch is NOT turned on.
2. Loosely connected hardware, make sure hardware is properly seating ie: RAM, CPU, GPU, HDD, SSD
3. CPU Power Cable, 24 Pin, Power Switch, Power is not plugged in or Power Button is broken or not plugged into motherboard.
4. Don't use an Extension Lead or try another Wall Socket
5. Try bypassing pc case power button by jumping the Power Switch on the Front Panel Connector.
Tried all above?
6. Possible Bad motherboard
7. Possible Bad CPU

When I tried to turn it on, it powered for a second (the fans started spinning, and the light turned on), but right after that, it stopped and turned off. I checked if all of the cables were plugged in correctly, and I think they are. I haven't changed anything else. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be the problem?
