I went to boot up my computer this morning and it began trying to start but then couldn't and then shuts back off, followed immediately but trying to boot again. It repeats this process endlessly if I don't cut the power. I'm pretty sure its a motherboard issue and i plan on disconnecting and reconnecting essentially everything and giving the internals a good cleaning with a can of air tomorrow. I really just want a second opinion on the situation from people that are more experienced with this sort of stuff than I am. I have a 30 second video of what's happening via mega upload if you like, thanks in advance! https://mega.nz/#!RPBSgYxb!1RYQsVPR-P2mjk_spCN4oRWraaDF6m51xuGyt8k76tk

What operating system are you using?  I experienced this same thing and it was a hard drive failure. The first time it was a secondary hdd that was used for storage and the second time it was my main OS hdd.  How many hdd or ssd do you have in your pc? the 3rd time this happened to me, it was a motherboard failure which sucked.  Try the hdd first.

Well I plan on going through and checking all the connections and then trying to turn it back on again but to answer your question I have an SSD and run windows 10. My HDD just hold games and pictures and stuff like that... but I'll check those too. I want to try everything before I start throwing money at replacement parts.

Well I feel as though I've tried everything at this point. I reset and even changed the CMOS, checked all my connections, my power source, my hard drives, cleaned everything out...  guess it's time to fork over the cash for a new mobo 😞 if anyone wants to interject I'll relink the video of what it's doing. (Trying to boot up and shutting off right after afew seconds; endlessly)
