Question
my computer gets on as soon as i plug in without even me pressing the power button and shuts off immediately.can you please help?
you most likely have hardware failure. probably the motherboard, but it could also be the power supply.
just to rule out the simple things though you should try another computer power cord if you have one, and a different power outlet.
peace,
