My pc is keeping switching off?

I switch it on and then it switches off after a sec.. like a car that wouldnt start.. whats the problem with it?

Update:

It is hardware problem

Update 2:

I could start the OS , then it switched off abruptly, then I tried to switch it on again, it wouldnt. The vantilation was working like crazy, even if when the pc appeared to be switched off. I then unplugged it and it stopped.

Then I plugged it in again, and again, it started for 2 sec and then switched off.

It had a smell of something burnt when I smelled it from behind

    Could be a bad power supply, or a bad CPU, or a bad motherboard, or bad RAM, or just about anything really. There's not that much info here to go on.
