Power light blinks fast but computer won't turn on

May 11th, 2008

My daughter's computer is a HP about 3 years old and it's been working fine. She turned it on last night and today went to use it and the blue power light and the green light on the back by the power chord are blinking fast and nothing happens. It won't turn on and when you unplug the computer the lights still blink for a few minutes. I tried holding in the power button, but nothing will get it to turn on. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
