If you do not see any BIOS activity at the beginning of boot, no list of disks or memory check then it is a bit dead, too dead for us to help you with it. Your not knowing anything about computers pretty much precludes us giving ideas about memory stick replacements or hdd checks.
Sorry, but caper is correct.

Okay, I gotta try to help.... if your machine is actually still bootable then do this [this procedure will burn a diagnostic program onto a cd which in turn may be used to boot your machine and check the hd] :
== Checking A HDD That Will Not Load The OpSys
You'll need access to a computer with Internet connectivity and a CD burner, plus a blank CD-R or CD-RW.
Then go to this link: http://www.woyaa.com/cgi-bin/download/jump.cgi?ID=708646
or this link: http://support.thetechguys.com/Uploads/%7Bb4d5f239-78d9-4bd8-8e7a-2de1983b4d7d%7D/DiagCD23.exe
Either Run the file download or Save diagcd23.exe to your computer and dclick it to run. The procedure is quite automatic: you will be asked to insert a blank CD for burning the file.
Once the disk is created, put it in your broken machine, then restart it. It should boot from the CD and then give you the opportunity to run a Long HDD (hard disk) test. The utility supports a wide range of disk manufacturers.
Say how you get on.

Thanks for the reply, blain, good to know the result. But seriously, we do not email help because we feel that others on search may lose a solution or otherwise, deadends and so forth. The site is a resource. Caper is a great asset here, and you did say you knew nothing about the innards of a machine...

He was quick to get on there and talk shit, there was no need to reply if you werent actually going to help anyway. So, in summary, thanks gerbil for trying to help and #### you caperjack, you fat fucking nerd. Cheers

I've reported this as a bad post.
It's my sincere hope this poster will be banned for life.
