Randomly Reboots (in windows or on boot)

Can't turn on PC!!

Tried the paper clip trick w/ the PSU outside the case. Fan on the PSU started to spin for a 1/2 sec then it shut off w/ an odd sound. I'm going to try the fans plugged in to the PSU w/ the paper clip trick when I get home, but I'm rather sure this is the PSU. I'm going back to Antec PSUs. My...
