My computer won’t start and you can see the computer power button flashing.One minute they are fine, and the next thing you know it is basically dead. You can see the computer Power button light blinking but nothing comes up on the screen.
it seems a bit slow and quiet you can almost guarantee that there is not enough power getting through.

Hi
1st Please try a Hard Reset
This is valid for most notebooks, and some desktops.
Press and Hold the PWR off button for 4 seconds to force a PWR off.
Unplug from the wall.
IF you see a battery compartment door, then your computer has a removable battery.
IF NOT then you do not have a removable battery.
Remove any removable battery.
Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds to complete the reset.
(Re-insert any battery you removed).

Maybe the flashes will match and tell you what piese of hardware is suspect, like the RAM or HDD or BIOS.
