The PC and CDROM lights won't stop blinking. We were logged into the computer and then it just went out. Now you can't turn it back on because they are both blinking. I tried to unplug it and then plug it back in but it doesn't help. Even the caps lock and num lock on the keyboard is flashing. What is wrong? Can anyone help?

uh-oh! Sounds like a system failure to me. Are you getting anything to the monitor at all? Check all power going to the system first including making sure the outlet is ok(try a different outlet). Then its system diagnosis time and decision time. How much do you like your current pc and how much is it worth to fix versus replace. Knowing you have a cdrom is a plus but more info would be better. I would expect either a power problem or a motherboard/cpu crash. Sorry :(
Good luck!
