Fan malfunction is a possibility, but three seconds wouldn't boot into Windows enough for a file to be a problem. Symptoms would be different in those cases.
EDIT:
The fans do go on? (Can't read. Smile

)

yes they do only for about 3 seconds or so.

Are there any beeps indicating that your computer didn't pass POST tests?
Also, did anyone go inside the case for any reason?

no and no, im thinking it might be the power supply..

3 seconds is enough time for a modern computer... how old is it?

It's most definitely something either hardware-related or electrical. As Blank mentioned, it could simply be the incorrect installation of a component. If it isn't that, I'm afraid something might be fatally wrong with a piece of hardware on your computer. Might want to take it to a shop and see if the professionals can diagnose the cause.
