Right now I'm going to give you some useful tips to troubleshoot some of the most common computer problems.

Computer Won't Start or Computer is not starting

• Check the computers power source and connections.
• Make sure that power cord is connected to the computer and into source of power. Test the power source. To do that, connect your phone to phone charger and then plug your phone charger into power source and check whether it's alive or not. If you source of power is not alive then try another power outlet. If power outlet is working may be the problem with power cord or Faulty SMPS. 
• Push the power button or power switch and listen for the computers cooling fan.
• Listen and watch for beeps, flashing lights on the front panel of PC. If you heard any beep then it may indicate a problem with Memory or Hard Disk.
