My HP computer (P7-1268C) crashed and will not restart. After trying everything I can think of, I pressed the start button once more and the color went from blue to orange and then blank again. The computer did not overheat as it is not even warm. Please help.

hello. I am not an expert but i will still try to help. first thing i would try is checking with a different monitor. If that does not work than i would create an ubuntu flashdrive. ubuntu is and free and open sorce os and is a good tempary fix if you need a computer fast. It is very easy to install onto a flash drive.   ubuntu.com

it also sounds like if it isnt the monitor than its a virus.
