That indicates a serious hardware problem. You probably should take it to a repair shop.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

I'd check the power supply first. I had this exact same problem a month ago; what had happened was that one of the power rails on the PSU went bad. So while it was able to spin the fans/drives, the CPU wasn't getting any power.
