Will not boot

[ginnerpip]

Please help

My computer will not boot, AT ALL

i turned it off last night and it shut down properly with nothing unusual.

When i push the on button the HDD's and Cd Roms dont boot at all, all the fans (CPU and case) look like they had power for half a millisecond cause they start to spin then slow down and stop about 2 seconds later.

There is no sounds when i try abd boot, no beeps no whizzes.

My PSU (before this happened) normally stays turned on after shut down for 30 secs to blow the hot air out. and when i try and turn on my computer now it stays lit for 30.5 seconds before turning off, so thats why i dont thin it is the PSU.

I dont think it was a power surge as my computer was off all night and there a lot of computers in my building and no others had problems over night, and i have a surge protected power board.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Also, one more thing

I recently (a week ago) installed a second graphics card in SLI, my friend thinks that i may have blown up my PSU, but if i did, wouldn't it have done it straight away??, or even stopped mid game and shut down, not shutting down normally then not restarting ?? also cause it runs for 30 secs bofre turning off like it normally does.??
