My computer won't turn on!

[John]

My computer starts to start u, the keyboard turns on, the
USB devices turn on and then the windows xp screen wi9th
the moving bar comes up and the keyboard turns off then
the devices turn off and the computer itself turns off.

The whole time this is happening the yellow light below
the power light on my computer stays on when it usually
blinks occationaly which leads me to think that it has
something to do with virtual memory

Someone please help because unlike all of the other
issues i cant use my computer at all and that is WHAT I
DO!

Are you able to boot to Safe Mode? If so, that would allow you to check
such things as Virtual Memory (although I doubt that is the problem unless a
change was made to that setting recently). If you have installed or updated
and software or hardware since the last reboot before the problem, that
would be the likely cause. If you can get to Safe Mode, consider doing
using System Restore to go back a few days.

Trey booting into safe mode and is if that works.

If you get into safe mode uninstall your video card and drivers and reboot.
Or, restore to a working restore point that you know everything was working.
