What's the history behind the issue?
Were any changes made to it prior to it breaking?
Did it work one day and not the next day?
Is it a desktop or a notebook?

I suspect a RAM module has gone bad. Do you hear any beeping from the computer?

If you have two RAM sticks, remove one and boot the computer. If it doesn't boot, pull that one and put the other one in. You are looking to see if one of them is bad.
