My fathers computer recently has been having problems. It started when a box popped up asking for a Microsoft disc, which he says he does not have. It prevented him form being able to do any other task on the computer. Because of this he decided to turn off the computer by pressing in the button on the tower. Now when he tries to turn it back on it will light up and start for a few seconds and quickly turn back off. Any ideas on why? Is it the Microsoft disc he needs, if so how would a computer that works fine all of a sudden need a disc. Or is it because of the way he turned it off. If this is the case how would I coach him to fix it? Thanks for your time and knowledge, I hope you can help.
