My galaxy core prime turns on when I hold the power button but almost immediately after it turns itself off

Possibly the battery is nearly completely discharged. Try plugging it in for 10 minutes or so then try again.

Welcome to Android Central! Either that, or the battery is simply failing. You might need to get a new one.

BTW, if the battery is drained to near-zero, I'd charge it undisturbed for at least 4-6 hours before attempting to power on again.
