my computer won't start. when i go to turn it on the power light comes on but the hard drive light just flashes. you can hear the hard drives spin up and the fans come on but nothing else happens. i completely dissassembled and reassembled it. after that it worked fine for a bout a day but now ts doing the same thing. any help would be nice.
