Angry Computers

Right, My computer has now decided to be a nob.
if I turn it on all that happens is it boots up, fan kicks in as usual then the fan settles down. a couple seconds later, it kicks in again but nothing else.
when i turn it on, the keyboard lights come on but go off instantly.

I've recently downloaded logmein. all it does is enable me to control the computer via the Ipad. when i went back onto the app to see if I could use the computer through it, its saying that the computer is offline.
Really starting to get pi**ed off with technology!

Can anyone help me out here?

Well yes it's offline as the OS is not running

You need to be precise as to what the info you are seeing on the screen?

It sounds as if it's either stuck in a reboot loop or you have a hardware problem, from the little information you have stated so far.

I had similar issues. A hammer sorted it but cost me £350.
