tyrant.Welcome to the forums

To begin troubleshooting this, you'll need to be comfortable with working INSIDE the machine.
Power down the machine, remove the power cord, and take the side panel off.
Check all the connections inside. In PARTICULAR, look at the main 24-pin power connector on the board, and the 4 or 8 pin supplementary connector. Make sure they are both plugged in securely.
Failing that, look for the CMOS battery, which is a small round silver battery on the motherboard. Remove this for 30 seconds or so, then replace it and try to power the machine up again.
If this doesn't help, look for your stick(s) of RAM. Remove it/them, and reinsert them one at a time, trying to boot the machine up each time. It could be a faulty stick of RAM causing this.

Please get back to us with the results of the above - if it's still having issues, could you tell us if anything changed or happened before this issue started?wow thank u for getting back to me so fast but i did everything u told me to do and nothing worked at all no changes and before this happened my girl told me that it shut down on her for no reason and she couldn't turn it back on right away so i made her turn it off for a while and unpluged it and then later that day it work and then a couple hours later it shut off again and now it doing all this so what u think please and thank u lots.
