Take a deep breath and tell me what it does.

Are you getting the blue error message screen that tell you that?

If so, then you are getting as far as the Bios at least. Do the cd rom lights blink on startup? Can you tell if the hard drive is running?

You first have to determine where it's hanging up at. Then proceed from there.

It could be something as simple as a loose plug not making good connection. I would check those just to be sure.
