I have a computer that's acting up. When I plug it in, the power
supply fan and the main vent fan both start and two lights next to
where the network cable plugs in light up. After about a second, the
two lights go off and the fans power down. After a couple of seconds,
the fans come to a stop and then the whole cycle repeats. It continues
repeating this activity until I physically un-plug the power cord. If
I re-connect the power cord, it immediately starts cycling through
this same pattern again.

I thought probably the power supply had gone bad (the computer is just
under a year old). So, I bought a new one and installed it. It made
absolutely no difference. It still behaves exactly the same.
Any one have any thoughts as to what might be wrong with this thing?

Next possible problem is the maiboard.
