Yes it should run continously although it could be a variable speed one but it would never be meant to stop intentionally.

Is it a new PSU, I had a low powered PSU doing that recently, it didnt have enough power to start the pc so it tripped out and just made the cpu fan do about a quarter turn each time I pressed the start button  :?

Do you get any beeps or anything on screen or is the pc just dead ?

If its dead then check that the Clear CMOS jumper is set in the run postion.
