=============================================
I leave the room for 3 minutes and come back and the computer shut off. I press the power button to turn it on and the front panel lights flash for 1000th of a second and the beep is so short because the computer turns on and off so fast. Anyways, tried to remove the battery, disconnect some power connnectors. When I did and turned it on it came on and it let out this 10 second long beep and then turned off again. It sounds like a PSU issue but I wanted to make sure first. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Power supplyor burnt up. Surely something happened prior to this?

You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users
