The same thing happened on my laptop, it was overheating and automatically turning the computer off

I know exactly what the problem is....

It's a Dell.

Good luck. Wipe off all that porn before you take to get fixed.

Second, is the sound coming from within the computer or in the speakers? If it's coming from inside the computer, it probably is a failing hard drive. If it isn't a bad HD, it may be a bad logic board.

The sound is coming from the PC itself.

Probably an overheated problem, but you said you turned it off yourself. So I doubt that.

Anyways on the back of the desktop there is a switch. Flip it then flip it back.

It was just one little beep and the sound of the fan. It's the same sound it makes when you first turn on your computer. However, it only lasts about one second before it shuts back off.

I already tried the switch flip thing. No success.

Had a recent bad experience with Dell and their support nightmare. Never buying a Dell again.

It won't power on at all.

Dell support is a nightmare. That's why I came here first.

Do you see aything on the monitor at all, or is the shutdown immediate? Possibly a registry issue- try to get to the bios via the appropriate function key during boot-up and start in safe mode.

Hi Michelle,

Sounds to me like the power supply went bad. They are not too expensive and pretty easy to replace...so if it's not the culprit you won't be out too much money or time.
