The last time it turned it on it would come on for a few seconds and go off. I would push the button and it would go for maybe 5 sec and then go off.

If you can’t turn your computer on, maybe its just not that into you.

But yet you are still online.
But seriously, is it a laptop? Are the power cables hooked up tightly to your computer?

Try power supply from old junker. If not that, motherboard.

If you have it plugged into a surge protector, try unplugging it plugging it directly into the wall. If you’re lucky, this is a sick surge protector, rather than a sick computer.
To: GregB
Were you really expecting constructive help?
You thread title is a low hanging softball for sarcastic remarks.
But I’ll try to help: check the switch on your surge protector.

Show it this. Maybe this will turn it on.

Look behind your computer cabinet, is your cat chewing on the power cord?

Please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump. If you haven’t donated yet, please give it some thought.
Thank you!

How did you post this?
Sorry -- couldn't resist. What is the OS? Make/model of the machine? Any beeps at all?

1) Surge Protector (Try wall outlet to verify)
2) On/Off button
3) Power Supply
4) Motherboard
Always troubleshoot in order, from cheapest to more expensive.
