5. Two Things
1. Pull the power plug from the computer. While the power plug is disconnected, hit the power switch. Plug the power back in and try to boot.

-If that doesn't work-


2. Clear your CMOS. This is done by shorting a jumper on your mother board (find the manual) or by removing your CMOS battery for a brief period of time.

It's not as difficult as it sounds.

Come back with results.
