I was given a desktop computer and have set it up i believe it is an older model. I put the computer together and went to turn it on the modem comes on with power however the monitor will not display anything on screen and everytime i turn it on regardless of it hooked up to modem or not it will turn itself off within 5 seconds of it coming on. I have tried several different things such as holding the power button in as it comes up, i have tried the control alt delete, i have pressed any and all buttons as soon as it comes on, no matter what i do it will cut itself off within 5 seconds like it is stuck in a sleep mode. Is there something at all that i can try?
