My IBM server X 3400 shut down suddenly one fine day. When I use the power switch to power it on, it starts and then shuts down without any sign of flaws. When I took off the power cords and then I reconnected after 2 minutes it started and then shut down after a minute. Why does this happen?

Can you describe what it does? It prints something (what) in the screen? Does it show the boot loader? It gets to boot or start booting the operating system? – Carlos Campderrós Jul 08 '13 at 16:17

Is it very hot where you are today? – Chopper3 Jul 08 '13 at 16:48

It sounds like you have a hardware failure (it could be a lot of things, from the power supply to the system board onward; I've even seen a bad disk cause this).
You probably have a support contract you can take advantage of in this case.
