Is there any chance that you are trying to run a laptop on a battery that has run down? Just a guess based on your description about "a power out or somthing"

Of course, if you see this, that must mean that your computer is running again.

Well, a more elaborate explanation of your problem would help me assist you, but as of now i can only assume your power supply is burnt out, or you have a virus in your bios which is forcing a memory leak and thus resulting in a memory overload, i recommend you download memcheck, and also post the exact error verbose

Ok, two questions for you.
1. what were you doing when you first noticed the problem.
2. what happens *EXACTLY* when you turn your computer on.

1. [Reply] - I finished posting some replies on the alice community and turned off the comuter as usual when I got back from school, IT DIDN'T TURN ON:( :eek:

2 [Reply] I press the power button it shows the usual 'Intel Desktop Boards' Screen Blanks a couple of times (But thats normal) BUT, Than a message displays about a power failure, pressing the restart button before it turns off, or a hardware change, & I get choices to : start windows normaly, safe mode, & last good configuration. Everyone i choose dosen't work!:eek: EVEN SAFE MODE!:eek:... Wen I press start windows normally I see the Windows loading screen but than it blanks FOREVER! Same with last good configuration... SAFE MODE I see the list but thats it it stops

Ok what i recommend is to take the 16point cable out of your motherboard...This is the one from the power supply. That way when you reinsert it you know it is securely in.
If that does not work, I would like you to remove your Motherboards battery. That is the watch battery on your motherbaord. Doing this will reset your bios back to factory settings, and correct anything you did to screw it up. If that does not work then you might want to try a Memcheck, your RAM could have broken. If Memcheck comes up clean, Next step is going to be to replace your Power supply. If none of the above Works then I recommend writing santa a note for xmas :)

sounds to me like your power cord is burnt out. this happened to my brother-in-law. if your computer is "in date" you can go to a place like radio shack and buy another one.

Try to do:

press f8 after switching your power on. Then choose Safe mode or the last succesfull configuration mode. There is some error occured it may help

Nope Safe mode Doesn't even start... Last good configuration, same thing

[Pudding]

If it's not the power cord, it sounds like a power supply unit issue..:confused:

If you can fix the computer on your own maybe you can borrow a cpu power supply unit from someone and see if it works...
